DESIGN VIEW

READING PDF DOCUMENTS

In

order to grab the contents of pdf file into

textarea, we have to convert the pdf into text files
To do so, we have to use a .jar file called itextpdf
and install it in project.
Itext is an open source library that allows us to
create and manipulate the pdf files.
We also have to import the following in program,
import

com.itextpdf.text.pdf.PdfReader;
Import com.itextpdf.text.pdf.parser.PdfTextExtractor;

READING DOCUMENT FILES

In

order to grab the contents of document file into

textarea, we have to convert the document into text
files
To do so, we have to use a .jar file called apache
and install it in project.
The Apache POI Project's mission is to create and
maintain Java APIs for manipulating various file
format. We can read and write MS Word files using
Java.
We also have to import the following in program,
import
org.apache.poi.xwpf.extractor.XWPFWordExtractor;
import org.apache.poi.xwpf.usermodel.XWPFDocument;

FILE EXTENSION FILTER

In Swing, we can do that by using method
addChoosableFileFilter(FileFilterfilter) of the
class JFileChooser.
We are going to read only text, documents and
pdf , so we are going to add filter to filter and
show only such files in the Browse dialog box.
The import files,
import
javax.swing.filechooser.FileNameExtensionFilter;
