Need to add Scroll Bar

Question

I am an enthusiast rather than a programmer. I have thousands of pdf files to go through and extract some data. The data is in X inside boxes (I suspect a graphic within the pdf) there is no evidence of this data if I convert the PDF to text so... I am converting the PDF to image then looking at the image in certain areas where I expect the X to be and counting black pixels, so far so good. The PDF does not fit in the window height-wise so I need to add a scrollbar.

I don't understand how I can add a scrollbar to the main window.

Can someone just steer me in the right direction

Thank you

The code is incomplete but working:

Look for something like JScrollPane myPane = new JScrollPane();

Thanks, I have tried putting this in various places that look like it might work but, the image frame is the container, what I really need to know is how to place a higher level container which can hold the scollpane with the imagepane within. – Paul White Dec 19 '14 at 15:22
