If you are cooperating with the document author, you can ask him to change the source that was used to create the PDF document. That's way better than to change the PDF resulting from that source. > If this is antagonist to original author, if you are trying to > make a political satire for example, you could still examine > the rest of the objects and re-typeset them yourself. Too error prone. For instance: how would your application know that a specific part of the content on page 1 is content that needs to be moved to page 2, whereas another part of that content is a footer that must remain on page 1 (to avoid having a footer somewhere halfway page 2). Sure, you could to some extent solve this if you keep the structure in the PDF (tagged PDF), but still, it's not what PDF was designed for. -- This answer is provided by 1T3XT BVBA http://www.1t3xt.com/ - http://www.1t3xt.info ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Apps built with the Adobe(R) Flex(R) framework and Flex Builder(TM) are powering Web 2.0 with engaging, cross-platform capabilities.
