--- name: azure-ai-formrecognizer-java description: "Build document analysis applications using the Azure AI Document Intelligence SDK for Java." risk: unknown source: community date_added: "2026-02-27" --- # Azure Document Intelligence (Form Recognizer) SDK for Java Build document analysis applications using the Azure AI Document Intelligence SDK for Java. ## Installation ```xml com.azure azure-ai-formrecognizer 4.2.0-beta.1 ``` ## Client Creation ### DocumentAnalysisClient ```java import com.azure.ai.formrecognizer.documentanalysis.DocumentAnalysisClient; import com.azure.ai.formrecognizer.documentanalysis.DocumentAnalysisClientBuilder; import com.azure.core.credential.AzureKeyCredential; DocumentAnalysisClient client = new DocumentAnalysisClientBuilder() .credential(new AzureKeyCredential("{key}")) .endpoint("{endpoint}") .buildClient(); ``` ### DocumentModelAdministrationClient ```java import com.azure.ai.formrecognizer.documentanalysis.administration.DocumentModelAdministrationClient; import com.azure.ai.formrecognizer.documentanalysis.administration.DocumentModelAdministrationClientBuilder; DocumentModelAdministrationClient adminClient = new DocumentModelAdministrationClientBuilder() .credential(new AzureKeyCredential("{key}")) .endpoint("{endpoint}") .buildClient(); ``` ### With DefaultAzureCredential ```java import com.azure.identity.DefaultAzureCredentialBuilder; DocumentAnalysisClient client = new DocumentAnalysisClientBuilder() .endpoint("{endpoint}") .credential(new DefaultAzureCredentialBuilder().build()) .buildClient(); ``` ## Prebuilt Models | Model ID | Purpose | |----------|---------| | `prebuilt-layout` | Extract text, tables, selection marks | | `prebuilt-document` | General document with key-value pairs | | `prebuilt-receipt` | Receipt data extraction | | `prebuilt-invoice` | Invoice field extraction | | `prebuilt-businessCard` | Business card parsing | | `prebuilt-idDocument` | ID document (passport, license) | | `prebuilt-tax.us.w2` | US W2 tax forms | ## Core Patterns ### Extract Layout ```java import com.azure.ai.formrecognizer.documentanalysis.models.*; import com.azure.core.util.BinaryData; import com.azure.core.util.polling.SyncPoller; import java.io.File; File document = new File("document.pdf"); BinaryData documentData = BinaryData.fromFile(document.toPath()); SyncPoller poller = client.beginAnalyzeDocument("prebuilt-layout", documentData); AnalyzeResult result = poller.getFinalResult(); // Process pages for (DocumentPage page : result.getPages()) { System.out.printf("Page %d: %.2f x %.2f %s%n", page.getPageNumber(), page.getWidth(), page.getHeight(), page.getUnit()); // Lines for (DocumentLine line : page.getLines()) { System.out.println("Line: " + line.getContent()); } // Selection marks (checkboxes) for (DocumentSelectionMark mark : page.getSelectionMarks()) { System.out.printf("Checkbox: %s (confidence: %.2f)%n", mark.getSelectionMarkState(), mark.getConfidence()); } } // Tables for (DocumentTable table : result.getTables()) { System.out.printf("Table: %d rows x %d columns%n", table.getRowCount(), table.getColumnCount()); for (DocumentTableCell cell : table.getCells()) { System.out.printf("Cell[%d,%d]: %s%n", cell.getRowIndex(), cell.getColumnIndex(), cell.getContent()); } } ``` ### Analyze from URL ```java String documentUrl = "https://example.com/invoice.pdf"; SyncPoller poller = client.beginAnalyzeDocumentFromUrl("prebuilt-invoice", documentUrl); AnalyzeResult result = poller.getFinalResult(); ``` ### Analyze Receipt ```java SyncPoller poller = client.beginAnalyzeDocumentFromUrl("prebuilt-receipt", receiptUrl); AnalyzeResult result = poller.getFinalResult(); for (AnalyzedDocument doc : result.getDocuments()) { Map fields = doc.getFields(); DocumentField merchantName = fields.get("MerchantName"); if (merchantName != null && merchantName.getType() == DocumentFieldType.STRING) { System.out.printf("Merchant: %s (confidence: %.2f)%n", merchantName.getValueAsString(), merchantName.getConfidence()); } DocumentField transactionDate = fields.get("TransactionDate"); if (transactionDate != null && transactionDate.getType() == DocumentFieldType.DATE) { System.out.printf("Date: %s%n", transactionDate.getValueAsDate()); } DocumentField items = fields.get("Items"); if (items != null && items.getType() == DocumentFieldType.LIST) { for (DocumentField item : items.getValueAsList()) { Map itemFields = item.getValueAsMap(); System.out.printf("Item: %s, Price: %.2f%n", itemFields.get("Name").getValueAsString(), itemFields.get("Price").getValueAsDouble()); } } } ``` ### General Document Analysis ```java SyncPoller poller = client.beginAnalyzeDocumentFromUrl("prebuilt-document", documentUrl); AnalyzeResult result = poller.getFinalResult(); // Key-value pairs for (DocumentKeyValuePair kvp : result.getKeyValuePairs()) { System.out.printf("Key: %s => Value: %s%n", kvp.getKey().getContent(), kvp.getValue() != null ? kvp.getValue().getContent() : "null"); } ``` ## Custom Models ### Build Custom Model ```java import com.azure.ai.formrecognizer.documentanalysis.administration.models.*; String blobContainerUrl = "{SAS_URL_of_training_data}"; String prefix = "training-docs/"; SyncPoller poller = adminClient.beginBuildDocumentModel( blobContainerUrl, DocumentModelBuildMode.TEMPLATE, prefix, new BuildDocumentModelOptions() .setModelId("my-custom-model") .setDescription("Custom invoice model"), Context.NONE); DocumentModelDetails model = poller.getFinalResult(); System.out.println("Model ID: " + model.getModelId()); System.out.println("Created: " + model.getCreatedOn()); model.getDocumentTypes().forEach((docType, details) -> { System.out.println("Document type: " + docType); details.getFieldSchema().forEach((field, schema) -> { System.out.printf(" Field: %s (%s)%n", field, schema.getType()); }); }); ``` ### Analyze with Custom Model ```java SyncPoller poller = client.beginAnalyzeDocumentFromUrl("my-custom-model", documentUrl); AnalyzeResult result = poller.getFinalResult(); for (AnalyzedDocument doc : result.getDocuments()) { System.out.printf("Document type: %s (confidence: %.2f)%n", doc.getDocType(), doc.getConfidence()); doc.getFields().forEach((name, field) -> { System.out.printf("Field '%s': %s (confidence: %.2f)%n", name, field.getContent(), field.getConfidence()); }); } ``` ### Compose Models ```java List modelIds = Arrays.asList("model-1", "model-2", "model-3"); SyncPoller poller = adminClient.beginComposeDocumentModel( modelIds, new ComposeDocumentModelOptions() .setModelId("composed-model") .setDescription("Composed from multiple models")); DocumentModelDetails composedModel = poller.getFinalResult(); ``` ### Manage Models ```java // List models PagedIterable models = adminClient.listDocumentModels(); for (DocumentModelSummary summary : models) { System.out.printf("Model: %s, Created: %s%n", summary.getModelId(), summary.getCreatedOn()); } // Get model details DocumentModelDetails model = adminClient.getDocumentModel("model-id"); // Delete model adminClient.deleteDocumentModel("model-id"); // Check resource limits ResourceDetails resources = adminClient.getResourceDetails(); System.out.printf("Models: %d / %d%n", resources.getCustomDocumentModelCount(), resources.getCustomDocumentModelLimit()); ``` ## Document Classification ### Build Classifier ```java Map docTypes = new HashMap<>(); docTypes.put("invoice", new ClassifierDocumentTypeDetails() .setAzureBlobSource(new AzureBlobContentSource(containerUrl).setPrefix("invoices/"))); docTypes.put("receipt", new ClassifierDocumentTypeDetails() .setAzureBlobSource(new AzureBlobContentSource(containerUrl).setPrefix("receipts/"))); SyncPoller poller = adminClient.beginBuildDocumentClassifier(docTypes, new BuildDocumentClassifierOptions().setClassifierId("my-classifier")); DocumentClassifierDetails classifier = poller.getFinalResult(); ``` ### Classify Document ```java SyncPoller poller = client.beginClassifyDocumentFromUrl("my-classifier", documentUrl, Context.NONE); AnalyzeResult result = poller.getFinalResult(); for (AnalyzedDocument doc : result.getDocuments()) { System.out.printf("Classified as: %s (confidence: %.2f)%n", doc.getDocType(), doc.getConfidence()); } ``` ## Error Handling ```java import com.azure.core.exception.HttpResponseException; try { client.beginAnalyzeDocumentFromUrl("prebuilt-receipt", "invalid-url"); } catch (HttpResponseException e) { System.out.println("Status: " + e.getResponse().getStatusCode()); System.out.println("Error: " + e.getMessage()); } ``` ## Environment Variables ```bash FORM_RECOGNIZER_ENDPOINT=https://.cognitiveservices.azure.com/ FORM_RECOGNIZER_KEY= ``` ## Trigger Phrases - "document intelligence Java" - "form recognizer SDK" - "extract text from PDF" - "OCR document Java" - "analyze invoice receipt" - "custom document model" - "document classification" ## When to Use This skill is applicable to execute the workflow or actions described in the overview. ## Limitations - Use this skill only when the task clearly matches the scope described above. - Do not treat the output as a substitute for environment-specific validation, testing, or expert review. - Stop and ask for clarification if required inputs, permissions, safety boundaries, or success criteria are missing.
