You can use iText PDF library for reading and writing.If you are using Maven project please add 

<dependency>
    <groupId>com.itextpdf</groupId>
    <artifactId>itextpdf</artifactId>
    <version>5.5.10</version>
</dependency>

PDF Reader will read from pdf file and pass to writer which will write to DB. pdf reader sample example

public class PdfReadExample {

    private static final String FILE_NAME = "/tmp/myexample.pdf";

    public static void main(String[] args) {

        PdfReader reader;

        try {

            reader = new PdfReader("f:/myexample.pdf");

            // pageNumber = 1
            String textFromPage = PdfTextExtractor.getTextFromPage(reader, 1);

            System.out.println(textFromPage);

            reader.close();

        } catch (IOException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }

    }

}
