How could I print a PDPage object

[Pablo Aravena]

Hi friends

Someone of you knows how to print an specific page inside a PDF
document. I was trying many ways unsuccessfully

First I tried with this simple code:

            document = PDDocument.load(new FileInputStream("Sample.pdf"));
            System.out.println("Retrieving all pages");
            List pages = document.getDocumentCatalog().getAllPages();
            PDPage page = (PDPage) pages.get(1);

            PrinterJob printerJob = PrinterJob.getPrinterJob();
            printerJob.setPrintable(page);
            document.silentPrint(printerJob);

It does't work, the entire document is printed :-(

Then I tried with something more complex based on the Splitter sample

            document = PDDocument.load(new FileInputStream("Sample.pdf"));
            List pages = document.getDocumentCatalog().getAllPages();
            PDPage page = (PDPage) pages.get(1);

            newDoc = new PDDocument(); // new document is created
            newDoc.setDocumentInformation(document.getDocumentInformation());
            
newDoc.getDocumentCatalog().setViewerPreferences(document.getDocumentCatalog().getViewerPreferences());

            PDPage newPage = newDoc.importPage(page);
            newPage.setCropBox(page.findCropBox());
            newPage.setMediaBox(page.findMediaBox());
            newPage.setResources(page.getResources());
            newPage.setRotation(page.findRotation());

            PrinterJob printerJob = PrinterJob.getPrinterJob();
            printerJob.setPrintable(newDoc.getPrintable(0));
            newDoc.silentPrint(printerJob);

I was really close with this last code, the document is created but no
text is included inside. Also throws the following warning:
