Integrating PDF SDK in Java applications on the server side is a fundamental aspect of modern software development that plays a crucial role in building robust and efficient systems. It is recommended to deploy PDF SDK on the server side because processing PDF on the server side does not require UI interaction and rendering, which can greatly shorten the document processing time. In this way, efficiency can be improved, resource consumption can be reduced, and PDF document processing tasks can be completed more quickly and efficiently.
When it comes to integrating Java PDF SDK for Server, and applications, developers are presented with a plethora of tools, frameworks, and techniques to streamline the process and optimize performance. Read and follow this tutorial to integrate Java PDF SDK for Server, and see the performance of processing PDFs in Web browsers.

Step 2: Create a New Project
1. Create a Java application using the IDE. Here we create a new Java project.
Step 3: Add the Package of ComPDFKit PDF SDK for Java
1. The first thing we need to do is to import ComPDFKit PDF SDK for Java. Copy “lib” to the project
2. Right-click on the SDK and select Add as Library...
3. Add the following code to Main.java:
static{
try {
NativeKMPDFKit.initialize("your license", "your deviceId", "", Constants.LIB_DIR_NAME);
} catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
throw new RuntimeException(e);
}
}
4. Start the main method to print out the information of your computer's system version. If the information is printed successfully, you have integrated ComPDFKit PDF SDK for Java successfully!
Samples
The Samples use preset parameters and documentation to call the API of ComPDFKit PDF SDK for Java for each function without UI interaction or parameter settings. This is achieved through modular code examples. The functions include creating, getting, and deleting various types of annotations and forms, extracting text and images, encrypting and decrypting documents, adding watermarks and bates numbers, and more.
These projects not only demonstrate the best practices for each function but also provide detailed introductions. The impact of each function on PDF documents can be observed in the output directory. With the help of the Samples, you can quickly learn how to use the functions you need and apply them to your projects.
