I finally got it to work. I've outlined the steps I followed to get a working example. I hope someone finds this helpful.
Download the Java JDK
Download IKVM 0.42.0.6
Download PDFBox 1.6.0-src.zip
The Ant Manual was helpful.
I renamed the Ant and PDFBox folders to shorten their names and moved them my C: drive
You have to setup your environment Variables. (Windows 7)Right-click My Computer->Properties->Advanced System Settings->Environment Variables
I used the settings below, but yours will vary depending on where you installed Java and where you put the Ant and PDF Box folders.
Once the above it done, type in “ant” in a command window, you should get a “build.xml does not exist!” message if everything is setup correctly.
Edit the build.xml file inside the ”pdfbox-1.6.0pdfbox” folder. Find the line that has Replace “.” with “Your IKVM Folder Path”.
I moved IKVM to “C:IKVM' so mine looks like:
Open a command window and cd to “C:pdfbox-1.6.0pdfbox “ and type “ant”
…and then a miracle occurs.
A bunch of new folders should now exist in the pdfbox folder. The required dll’s are in the bin folder. I don’t know why, but I got a “-SNAPSHOT” and the end of all my files (pdfbox-1.6.0-SNAPSHOT.dll).
IKVM.GNU.Classpath (Also called IKVM.OpenJDK.Classpath) no longer exists, it was modularized since the 0.40 release. It is now available in the form of several IKVM.OpenJDK dll’s. You only need a few of them.
Create a new project in Visual Studio C#
Copy these files from the pdfBox bin folder to the bin folder of your Visual C# project bin folder:
Copy these files from the ikvm bin folder to the bin folder of your Visual C# project bin folder:
Add References to the IKVM dll’s above and build your project.
Add a Reference to the pdfbox dll and build your project again.
You are now ready to write some code. The simple example below produced a nice text file from the input pdf.
