Surely this is partly a maths question and partly a business logic question. You can first grab the total number of pages and then loop over the pagenumber of each page you wish to extract and if it gets over the max, then make it the max pagenumber and stop looping to guarantee it is the last page you ask for. BUT
What if someone makes this PDF without pages two and three?? Then asking for page 5 will give you the fifth page but not necessarily the result you are after. And don't use the it would never happen argument here..... :) john renfrew Right Way Up -----Original Message----- From: beppecosta [mailto:beppeco...@yahoo.it] Sent: 20 November 2013 13:08 To: itext-questions@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: Re: [iText-questions] selectpages for non existing page /> That looks like a case of garbage in, garbage out./ I agree but we receive some pdf from our dealer that SHOULD have 26 pages (the last page contains the signature) and we must extract the first, fifth and 28th. page. But possibly there was an error and it was built without some pages. The selectpages() method - if the pdf does not contains the 26th page requested - does not care and returns the last page. If we say that this is by design, I will run a check of total pages before the extract, but an exception that says that the input is invalid could be appropriate as well. Regards.
