Re: Help me split PDF by sections
Hi - what do you mean with sections and subsections. Are these bookmarks in PDF? With kind regards Maruan
Re: Help me split PDF by sections
PDFs are sometimes divided into sections or subjects. for example: Title 1: Sub-title: some text... sub title: some title sub-sub-title: I want to split my PDF not by pages but by the this tree of titles. I dont know if PDF forces each subject to be a bookmark. On Wed, Nov 14, 2012 at 12:05 PM, Maruan Sahyoun sahy...@fileaffairs.dewrote: Hi - what do you mean with sections and subsections.

Re: Help me split PDF by sections
it's possible to split a PDF using PDFBOX. The question is how to retrieve the information where to split the PDF. That was the reason for me asking how your sections are stored e.g. bookmarks, links, text … . If it's a bookmark you need to get the information in a different way than sections being normal text where a human can see the division but retrieving that with a program might be difficult. There are APIS for retrieving bookmarks and text though.

Thanks for the attention. I assume I would like to take a look on both API and decide. It sounds though that splitting according to bookmarks is easy so Can you tell me how to pull that off plz?
