Dependency conflict - Apache PDFBox

[HARPREETSI5]

I am working on a use case in which I want to embed an image inside a PDF file. After that, I need to send it as a servelet response. 
I am using PDFBox library from Apache to do so. But, I am not able to resolve the dependencies. 

POM: 

<!-- Apache PDFBox Dependencies -->
<dependency>
    <groupId>org.apache.pdfbox</groupId>
    <artifactId>pdfbox</artifactId>
    <version>3.0.2</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
    <groupId>org.apache.pdfbox</groupId>
    <artifactId>fontbox</artifactId>
    <version>3.0.2</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
    <groupId>commons-logging</groupId>
    <artifactId>commons-logging</artifactId>
    <version>1.3.2</version>
</dependency>

error: 

In the image, the version which is mentioned in the bundles is 3.0.4 which does not exist.

Hi,

You need to wrap those dependencies as part of your bundle so they are deployed and available at runtime. Please check these threads:

Hello @HARPREETSI5 

Have you implemented finally pdfbox.io? We have problems to deploy it on AEM Cloud, on local SDK it compiles and bundle is started, but on Cloud it is impossible.
