I am attempting to install PDFBox on my system in order to create PDF files, but am unsure which jar files I need. If I go to https://pdfbox.apache.org/download.cgi
I see command line tools as follows:
- pdfbox-app (9.1MB)
- preflight-app (9.2MB)
- debugger-app (9.0MB)
I also see "Libraries of each subproject" as follows:
- pdfbox (2.6MB)
- fontbox (1.6MB)
- preflight (248KB)
- xmpbox (132KB)
- pdfbox-tools (77KB)
- pdfbox-debugger (245KB)
What is meant by "each subproject"? Is it talking about the command line tools or something different?
I am planning to use java from the command line rather than in an IDE. Does this mean that I just need the Command line tools or do I need the "Libraries of each Subproject" as well? What does the "-app" indicated in the command line tools vs the related libraries?
Is there a page on apache.org that mentions the differences between all of these?
To create PDF files should I be using the preflight and debugger files as well or are those optional?

When you write "I am planning to use java from the command line rather than in an IDE" do you mean you want to use the command line tools ( pdfbox.apache.org/2.0/commandline.html ) or does it mean you want to code in java but avoid IDEs, because you're uncomfortable in having a life that is too easy so you usejavacdirectly and also insist on driving a stick shift car? For the command line tools you need pdfbox-app, this contains everything (except libraries with the "wrong license", e.g. jai_imageio.jar).

You could use the pdfbox-app jar, but this would be too big (but easy), so to create PDF files you'll just need pdfbox and fontbox and commons-log. If you want to do advanced stuff, e.g. read / render / decrypt / sign PDF files, then read pdfbox.apache.org/2.0/dependencies.html too.
– Tilman Hausherr
Mar 23 at 16:38
Thank you, that helps a lot. One last point of clarification: You said to create PDF files then all I need is pdfbox/fontbox/commons-log, but to do things like rendering I need additional dependencies. What is the difference between creating a PDF file and rendering a PDF file?

Summarizing the comments: you want to create a PDF from scratch and access your development over ssh so you can't use an IDE and have to use javac. For that you could use pdfbox-app jar file, but this would be huge. Instead, use the pdfbox, fontbox and commons-log jar files. See also here for additional dependencies if you want to do more advanced stuff (read / render (= convert to image) / decrypt / sign).
