I used the code to read PDF file from the folder. It's working fine for single document but I have multiple files in the folder. How do I read PDF multiple files. Please advice

Answer 1

You could start by taking a look at java.io.File which has methods for listing files...

• File#listFiles which allows you to list ALL the files within the context of the given File instance
• File#listFiles(FileFilter) which allows you to filter the list as it's being created...

Or, if you're using Java 7+, you could take a look at the enhanced File I/O API
