  # RJB needs the LD_LIBRARY_PATH and JAVA_HOME environment set for it
  # to work correctly.  For example on my system:
  #
  # export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/java/jdk1.6.0/jre/lib/i386/:/usr/java/jdk1.6.0/jre/lib/i386/client/:./
  # export JAVA_HOME=/usr/java/jdk1.6.0/
  #
  # Check the RJB documentation if you are having issues with this.

    # Saves the PDF into a file defined by path given.
    # return the number of pages in the new file
