### PDF Clown Project > PDF Clown for Java >

Project version: 0.1.2 - README revision: 0 (2013-02-04)

## Introduction

This section hosts command-line samples that illustrate some of the functionalities provided by PDF Clown.

## How to run the samples

These samples are console-based. You may run them in the following ways:

- Eclipse IDE: run the 'PDF Clown CLI Samples' Debug launcher (see launcher notes in 'Eclipse' section).
- Command line: launch the 'run' Ant task typing this:

      ant run

  Alternatively, you may use a bare shell script (`run.bat` (MS Windows), `run.sh` (Unix-like)).

### Important

Please verify your console encoding is configured to support Unicode characters (it should be set to "UTF-8"), otherwise you may experience gibberish text output.
