| # pdfbox_plugin_example |
| |
| Demonstrates how to use the PDFBox bindings generated using `jnigen`. This is a Linux Flutter application. The sample application lists the PDF files in a directory with number of pages and title, also allowing to navigate between directories. |
| |
| First, it's required to have generated the dart and C bindings in the plugin directory, which also downloads the required JARs using maven. The bindings are not committed because generated code is several thousands of lines. |
| |
| On a Linux machine, following commands can be used to run the example application. |
| |
| ``` |
| cd .. ## From this folder |
| dart run jnigen --config jnigen.yaml ## Downloads PDFBox JARs and generates bindings. |
| cd example/ |
| flutter run --release ## Opens the files list from home directory |
| ``` |
| |
| It may take some time for PDFBox to process all PDFs in a directory. In the interest of simplicity, this example application displays the list after all PDFs are processed. |
| |
| Follow along the code in `lib/main.dart` to see how generated bindings are used. |
