    Fixed thanks to this post by AlexKaras. I was using the latest version pdfbox-app-2.0.3.jar and needed to used the old pdfbox-app-1.8.12.jar

    Looks like my original thread has expanded a bit.

    I use VBScript and the code does apply but it looks like the "set" statement has been omitted

     

    set docObj = JavaClasses.org_apache_pdfbox_pdmodel.PDDocument.load_3("C:\\Users\\Downloads\\Test.pdf")

You're class path shows you using 1.8.4 of PDFBox.  As noted above, you should be using 1.8.12.  

 

Also, your error message indicates you're trying to use PDFParser class... that class isn't imported.  Now, I'm not familiar with using PDF Box but in the provided documentation, it doesn't appear anywhere that PDFParser is being called.

 

Could you post the VBScript that you are trying to execute?  Specifically, as your error message indicates, whatever code subroutine you have that generated the error in Unit2, line 79.

Hello Robert,

 

This is the code I'm using

 

function LoadDocument()　

Dim docObj　

' Load the PDF file to the PDDocument object

docObj = JavaClasses.org_apache_pdfbox_pdmodel.PDDocument.load_3("C:\Users\Downloads\Test.pdf")　

 

' Return the resulting PDDocument object

return docObj

End Function

 

 

And the error, PFA. Please suggest .Thanks
