Google "Java PDF API" or "iText" (which is a Java PDF API, just not the only one).

Debugging is twice as hard as writing the code in the first place. Therefore, if you write the code as cleverly as possible, you are, by definition, not smart enough to debug it.

Do you know what API means?
It means Application Programming Interface.
iText is a library (a jarfile) that provides you with methods for doing this. It is not a "software that does this work". But, if you want to reinvent the wheel, then please, go ahead, just don't expect anyone else to do it for you. You are going to have to inspect the actual format of PDFs (in all the varying versions) and learn how to read and manipulate them yourself. Or, you could simply download and use an API.
