Answer 1

You can read PDF contect by using itext. Examples are there in below link

But if the requirement is just to display PDF content than I believe you can use PDFRenderer to display PDF document.

Answer 2

I am assuming what you want to do is read a PDF, and display its contents as text in a JTextArea. Probably the easiest way to do this would be using Apache's PDFBox. The PDFTextStripper class should help you accomplish this:

PDDocument doc = PDDocument.load(new File("/path/to/file.pdf"));
String text = new PDFTextStripper().getText(doc);
// display in some JTextArea

You can find several other examples in the tutorials. If formatting is important, you can also try converting it to an image, or use a library like JMagick.
