Re: render only page n

2002-06-16 Thread Eric Smith
For anyone who is interested -
a quick hackish approach (non-fop or iText) is available
with acroreader viz.
acroread -toPostScript -start 4 -end 4 /tmp/multi_page.pdf

This will create a ps file of page 4 only:

Of course you can convert the entire file to ps without those
extra flags and then use psselect to print what you want,

Without having to put explicit tags in the source of course.
Apart from what you have been already told, the pages
1..n-1 usually have to be rendered in order to compute
what goes onto page n. If there are forward references
like "page x of y" or even innocent looking TOCs, the
whole document must be rendered anyway to get the
referenced page numbers.
So, why do you think you need the capability of rendering
page n only?

No. Want to add support for this yourself? I can give you some pointers,
if you want. The other possibility is using iText or something similar
to delete the pages you don't want.
