Nutrient Java SDK

Server-side Java library for programmatic PDF and document processing on the JVM. Runs operations locally inside the Java process — no network call, no API key, no external service required. Modernised in Q1 2026: Maven Central distribution with signed artifacts and broader Java/Kotlin version support.

Documentation

Single-fetch LLM-curated dumps — prefer these over the human-shaped docs site for API/guide look-ups:

• API reference: https://www.nutrient.io/api/java-sdk/llms.txt
• Guides: https://www.nutrient.io/guides/java/llms.txt
• Cross-product index (other Nutrient SDKs): https://www.nutrient.io/llms.txt

Key Concepts

• Maven artifact: io.nutrient:nutrient-java-sdk. The historical com.pspdfkit:libraries-java coordinates are pre-rebrand.
• Distribution: Maven Central, signed artifacts — no custom repository needed (contrast with the Android SDK, which uses a Nutrient-hosted Maven repo).
• In-process vs REST: this SDK runs operations locally. The hosted REST alternative is the Nutrient DWS Processor API (covered by a separate plugin).
• vs other in-process languages: see nutrient-nodejs-server-sdk, nutrient-python-sdk, nutrient-dotnet-server-sdk for the same in-process capability in those runtimes.
