[java] How to read pdf file and write it to outputStream

I need to read a pdf file with filepath "C:\file.pdf" and write it to outputStream. What is the easiest way to do that?

@Controller
public class ExportTlocrt {

@Autowired
private PhoneBookService phoneBookSer;

private void setResponseHeaderTlocrtPDF(HttpServletResponse response) {
    response.setContentType("application/pdf");
    response.setHeader("content-disposition", "attachment; filename=Tlocrt.pdf" );
} 

@RequestMapping(value = "/exportTlocrt.html", method = RequestMethod.POST)
public void exportTlocrt(Model model, HttpServletResponse response, HttpServletRequest request){

    setResponseHeaderTlocrtPDF(response);
    File f = new File("C:\\Tlocrt.pdf");

    try {
        OutputStream os = response.getOutputStream();
        byte[] buf = new byte[8192];
        InputStream is = new FileInputStream(f);
        int c = 0;
        while ((c = is.read(buf, 0, buf.length)) > 0) {
            os.write(buf, 0, c);
            os.flush();
        }
        os.close();
        is.close();
    } catch (IOException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }

}
}

You can use PdfBox from Apache which is simple to use and has good performance.

Here is an example of extracting text from a PDF file (you can read more here) :

import java.io.*;
import org.apache.pdfbox.pdmodel.*;
import org.apache.pdfbox.util.*;

public class PDFTest {

 public static void main(String[] args){
 PDDocument pd;
 BufferedWriter wr;
 try {
         File input = new File("C:\\Invoice.pdf");  // The PDF file from where you would like to extract
         File output = new File("C:\\SampleText.txt"); // The text file where you are going to store the extracted data
         pd = PDDocument.load(input);
         System.out.println(pd.getNumberOfPages());
         System.out.println(pd.isEncrypted());
         pd.save("CopyOfInvoice.pdf"); // Creates a copy called "CopyOfInvoice.pdf"
         PDFTextStripper stripper = new PDFTextStripper();
         wr = new BufferedWriter(new OutputStreamWriter(new FileOutputStream(output)));
         stripper.writeText(pd, wr);
         if (pd != null) {
             pd.close();
         }
        // I use close() to flush the stream.
        wr.close();
 } catch (Exception e){
         e.printStackTrace();
        } 
     }
}

UPDATE:

You can get the text using PDFTextStripper:

PDFTextStripper reader = new PDFTextStripper();
String pageText = reader.getText(pd); // PDDocument object created
