Jorge Díaz 5 Years Ago Hi David, In case of having enterprise support of Liferay DXP, doing that jar change in Liferay installation is not advisable: Any bug caused by that change won't be supported by Liferay support team If you are having problems with PDFBox and you have enterprise support, it is better to open a LESA ticket.

Cancel Peter Mesotten Jorge Díaz 5 Years Ago Jorge, We've had similar problems in the past with older PDFBox versions, which were escalated to LESA but closed without a fix because support for 3rd party tools and libraries are not within the scope of LESA support. So unless this policy has changed, I do think it is useful to know how to upgrade PDFBox yourself, admittedly without expecting this new version to be supported by Liferay Inc. Nice article David!

For example, see jira tickets: LPE-12604 , LPE-14732, LPE-15122, and LPE-15537 Nevertheless we only update the library to last available minor version (Liferay 6.2 => PDFBox 1.8.x and Liferay 7.x => PDFBox 2.0.x , we won't update to last major version due to API compatibility.
