JEB PDF Analysis Plugin

How To Install

First, make sure to use a version of JEB that allows loading third-party back-end plugins (currently, JEB Pro).

• Within the RCP client: Edit/Options (or Configuration menu), Engines options tab, entry: .PluginsFolder
• By default, this entry points to the default value [jeb_base_folder]/coreplugins.
• Copy JebPdfPlugin???.jar to the Plugins folder.
• Create a sub-directory lib/ within the Plugins folder.
• Copy the following files to lib/:
  • jai-imageio-core-1.3.0.jar
  • jai-imageio-jpeg2000-1.3.0.jar
  • levigo-jbig2-imageio-1.6.3.jar
  • commons-configuration2-2.0-beta1.jar
  • commons-io-2.4.jar

How To Use

Start JEB. This line should appear in the console log: Plugin loaded: class com.pnf.plugin.pdf.PdfPlugin

Open a PDF file; the PDF plugin will detect it and analyze it as such.
