title: PDFBox or IText Documentation?
body: <p>I'm a Java programmer what would like to capture acroform XPDF data on the server side.</p>
  
  <p>I would like to do a brief example of sever side Java capturing 2-3 fields worth of data sent to the server via a PDF form as a means of convincing my boss to do a new project in Java rather than .Net, so I don't have a lot of time to invest.</p>
  
  <p>I noticed that there is a scarcity of tutorials for both PDFBox and iText.</p>
  
  <p>I've noticed that the FAQ &amp; "cookbook" on the Apache PDFBox site are slim and there isn't much in the way of tutorials on Google, at least not with the search strings I tried.</p>
  
  <p>iText has a book iText wants you to buy, but again, a scarcity of tutorials.</p>
  
  <p>Could anyone point me to resources that will teach me what I need for a basic demo, in a reasonable amount of time?</p>
  
  <p>I wouldn't mind buying the iText book later, after my boss is convinced to go with Java.</p>
  
  <p>Any advice for getting up and running with either library?  I need a little more instruction than the API manuals.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks</p>
  
  <p>Steve</p>
