Description

Dear Pdfbox,

I have just finished a work to integrate pdfbox and zxing to extract barcodes, and I wanted to give this source code to your fundation.

Program do this :

• extract all scanned images in a PDF,
• apply some homebrew image filters to retrieve areas of interest,
• rotate cropped areas and send them to zxing to find any barcode
• aggregate all results in specific List

Hope it can be useful for Pdfbox or Lucence.

Example :

	public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
		long startTime = System.currentTimeMillis();
		System.out.println("PdfBoxBarcodeScannerTest starts...");
		String filename = "D:\\test\\mail_with_barcode.pdf";
		
		
		PdDocumentBarcodeScanner scanner = new PdDocumentBarcodeScanner(new File(filename));
		scanner.scan();
		long endTime = System.currentTimeMillis();

		System.out.println("pdf scanned in " + (endTime - startTime) + " ms");
		
		scanner.displayResults();
	}

Gives :

PdfBoxBarcodeScannerTest starts...
pdf scanned in 3803 ms
page=0, barcodeFormat=DATA_MATRIX, value=HP14601225523
