How to read pdf files from the folder using java?

Hello All:

I have following code ... which read all the files in the folder ... I would like to read only pdf files ... I am new to Java please help me...

String readSourceLocation(){

File myFolder = new File(m_config.getValue("SOURCE_LOCATION"));//"C:\\myDocuments");
File allMyFolderObjects[] = myFolder.listFiles();

String src = allMyFolderObjects[0].toString();

System.out.println("~~~~~~~~~~~ Source : " + src);
return src;
}

If i understood you correctly then you wanted something like this. But if you wanted to read also pdf content then there is great tool for that iText.

Code:

---

import java.io.File;


public class ByTypeSearch {

        public static void main(String[] args) {
                File location = new File("c:\\");
                String type = "db"; // replace what ever type of file you need to search
               
                if (location.isDirectory() && location != null) {
                        for (File f : location.listFiles()) {
                                if (f.isFile() && f.getName().endsWith(type)) {
                                        System.out.println(f.getName() + " length " + f.length());
                                }
                        }
                }

        }

}
