I did read the PDF reference, so maybe I asked the question wrong. If I have a group of Page dictionaries that I got from traversing an outline, how do I create a new pdf having just those pages? It's easy to add pages if I know the page number. But since the page entries only have references like 55 0 R, how do I get that into a new document. The problem I am trying to resolve is that I can't be certain that the pages are consecutive, with no gaps. So I can't simply use the reader to get pages 1 - 8, then 9 - 12, then 13 - 27, etc... I am trying to find a way to use a collection of
--------------------------------- Dictionary of type: /Page : /Parent = 55 0 R /Contents = 53 0 R /Type = /Page /Resources = 5 0 R /MediaBox = [0, 0, 498, 792] --------------------------------- To create a new pdf. How do I get the above onto a new PDF? Edward W.
