How do I read a particular page (given a page number) from a PDF document using PDFBox?

Answer

This should work:

PDPage firstPage = (PDPage)doc.getAllPages().get( 0 );

as seen in the BookMark section of the tutorial

Update 2015, Version 2.0.0 SNAPSHOT

Seems this was removed and put back (?). getPage is in the 2.0.0 javadoc. To use it:

PDDocument document = PDDocument.load(new File(filename));
PDPage doc = document.getPage(0);

The getAllPages method has been renamed getPages

PDPage page = (PDPage)doc.getPages().get( 0 );
