Re: Is there a way to extract text on a page basis from odt ?

Hi Ram,

I suppose you only want to extract the text(header, footer, comments , end
note, etc) and don't care page break.
Please see the sample code.

       TextDocument
textdoc=(TextDocument)TextDocument.loadDocument("textExtractor.odt");
       EditableTextExtractor extractorD =
EditableTextExtractor.newOdfEditableTextExtractor(textdoc);
       String output = extractorD.getText();
       System.out.println(output);

This code fragment will return all of the context except header and
footer.For content in footer and header, please reference.
            Header header = textdoc.getHeader();
            output =TextExtractor.getText(header.getOdfElement());
            System.out.println(output);

            Footer footer = textdoc.getFooter();
            output =TextExtractor.getText(footer.getOdfElement());
            System.out.println(output);
