Question

I have an Jar file that is working perfectly fine on my Mac using console:

 MacBook-Pro-Pavel:PDFparser pavelpigalev$ java -jar PDFparser.jar
 Usage: java PDFparser <input-pdf> -p1 <password> -c1 -i0 -s1
    -p1 : PDF password
    -c1 : write JSON to console
    -i0 : don't extract images
    -s1 : take page screenshots [WARNING: currently in beta]
 MacBook-Pro-Pavel:PDFparser pavelpigalev$ java -jar PDFparser.jar f5.pdf
 MacBook-Pro-Pavel:PDFparser pavelpigalev$ 

It creates a folder and puts out images that I need in that folder.

But if I use it on the web server (also using console) it gives me this error:

 [[e-mail] pdfparser]$ ls
ffive.pdf  lib  PDFparser.jar  README.TXT
[[e-mail] pdfparser]$ java -jar "PDFparser.jar"
Usage: java PDFparser <input-pdf> -p1 <password> -c1 -i0 -s1
    -p1 : PDF password

    -i0 : don't extract images
    -s1 : take page screenshots [WARNING: currently in beta]
[[e-mail] pdfparser]$ java -jar "PDFparser.jar" ffive.pdf

I didn’t make this Jar file, I don’t really know much about Java. I work with PHP and I really need this program working well on server. Can someone help me with that?

Answer 1

Place vechmath .jar in your class path

Or – Add your supporting .jars to the classpath

export CLASSPATH=$CLASSPATH:/path/to/vecmath.jar

Or – Supply at the Runtime

java -cp vecmath-xxx.jar -jar Yourjar.jar

Importance of Classpath
