Thanks for the reply.
I tried this but it didn't work. It seemed to get further, but I think it
might not be finding the PDF
JAVA CLASS('org.apache.pdfbox.PDFBox') PARM('ExtractText' '/tmp/CONS.PDF'
'/tmp/cons.txt' ) CLASSPATH('/JavaPDF/pdfbox-1.6.0.jar')
Exception in thread "Thread-0" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError:

If I try it like this without the extra quotes, I see a different message
JAVA CLASS('org.apache.pdfbox.PDFBox') PARM('ExtractText /tmp/CONS.PDF' )
CLASSPATH('/JavaPDF/pdfbox-1.6.0.jar')
usage: java pdfbox-app-x.y.z.jar <command> <args..>

Hi Jack,
David's answer is close but I wouldn't expect it to work as is. The
reason is that "ExtractText" and "cons.pdf" are separate arguments or
parameters. IOW, using your doc example:
usage: java -jar pdfbox-app-x.y.z.jar ExtractText [OPTIONS] <PDF file> [Text
file]
everything after the jar are arguments, including the ExtractText "command".
So, for JAVA/RUNJVA use PARM( 'ExtractText' 'cons.pdf' ), add any other
arguments as necessary.
If you run the jar as executable, your classpath should just need to be
"/JavaPDF". If you run the class as in the example, your classpath should
be "/JavaPDF/pdfbox-1.6.0.jar". The reason is that an executable jar has
its entry point (class to load) defined in the manifest.
HTH,
Joe Sam

I was able to get the extract to work on my PC using this command.
Can anyone help me "convert" the syntax to Iseries?
Try this:
qsh cmd('java -cp pdfbox-app-1.6.0.jar org.apache.pdfbox.PDFBox
ExtractTextcons.pdf')
or this:
JAVA CLASS('org.apache.pdfbox.PDFBox') PARM('ExtractTextcons.pdf')
CLASSPATH('pdfbox-app-1.6.0.jar')
