I found PDFBox-0.7.3.jar (download
http://sourceforge.net/projects/pdfbox/files/PDFBox/PDFBox-0.7.3/PDFBox-0.7.3.zip

and after unzipping lib/PDFBox-0.7.3.jar

I placed PDFBox-0.7.3.zip into /usr/share/java (removing symlink to
newer version)

But an error message persists. Documentation says nothing about installation
