PDFBox Adding Page

To add page in PDF document two things must be needed-

Follow the steps below to add pages in PDF document-

Create Document

Create an instance of PDDocument class which belongs to the package org.apache.pdfbox.pdmodel. Getting an instance of PDDocument class, we are able to create an empty PDF document.

Create Blank Page

The PDPage class is used to create a blank page in a PDF document. The following code create page in our PDF document.

Add Page

addPage () method is used to add pages in the PDF document. The following code add page in our PDF document.

Save Document

After creating document, we have to save the document to our desired location. save() method is used to save the document. The save() method accepts a string value and passes a path of the document as a parameter.

Close Document

After completing the task we need to close the PDDocument class object by using the close() method.

Example-

import java.io.IOException; 
import org.apache.pdfbox.pdmodel.PDDocument;
import org.apache.pdfbox.pdmodel.PDPage;

public class Main {

	public static void main(String[] args)throws IOException {
		//Creating PDF document object 
	      PDDocument doc = new PDDocument();    
	
	for (inti=0; i<5; i++) {
	//Creating a blank page 
	          PDPage blankPage = new PDPage();

	//Adding the blank page to the document
	doc.addPage( blankPage );
	       } 
	
	//Saving the document
	doc.save("/eclipse-workspace/blank.pdf");
		
	      System.out.println("PDF created");  
	
	//Closing the document  
	doc.close();
	}
}
