Re: Functionality in PDFBOX

[Hesham G.]

Adam,

I wanted to do the reverse of this ... I wanted to create a bookmark that 
refers to a specific location in a specific page number.

Best regards ,

No.  I haven't dealt with any named destinations yet.  But if you can
get the object id/revision of the page it points to, you should be
able to get the page number in the map just like is done with normal
bookmarks.

Did you find a way to map a bookmark to a named destination in a
page(Specific location inside the page) ?

I've implemented code which splits PDFs based on bookmarks, combines
PDFs, and add bookmarks.  In my experience, PDFBox was able to do
everything with bookmarks which is specified in the PDF Specification
(ISO32000) and I've contributed code in the past which maps bookmarks
to page numbers for quick and easy reference.  I think the one word
answer to your question is "yes" and Jeremias and Maruan both went
into specifics on how to get started.

Check out the examples (in org.apache.pdfbox.examples if I recall
correctly) and you should be able to hack those into a program that
will meet your needs.  Let us know if you need any clarification on
anything.

Hi Rubesh,

as both Jeremias and myself already gave you a quick answer on the
questions you had what is the additional information you are looking 
for?

With kind regards.

Hi Team,
Could someone please update me on my query below; We need to take some
business decision on this. I am not able to find any relevant details 
to
my questions anywhere and I do not want to upload in Jira on this 
issue,
as I was advised that it was not the right platform for queries.
Any reply will be much appreciated.

Thanks,
Rubesh

Fw: Functionality in PDFBOX


Hi,
I want a clarification. I have a requirement to merge the pdf 
documents,
I
managed to do that via PDFBox, but the question is can we merge the 
pdf
files based on the bookmark or at the beginning of the file?
Also I know we can split the documents, but can this be done again 
based
on bookmarks or taking into consideration some field value?
Also add bookmarks at relative position?
I have seen various issues in Jira and have searched the website,
samples
etc., but could not find anything specific for this tasks, your
suggestions on this will be of great help.
We have some requirements based on this and need to decide on this at
the
earliest. Thanks.


Regards,
Rubesh

Jeremias Maerki resolved PDFBOX-1158.
-------------------------------------

  Resolution: Invalid

Please don't use JIRA to ask questions. Questions should be sent to
users@pdfbox.apache.org.

1a. Apache PDFBox cannot directly create PostScript from PDF. But it
supports painting PDF pages to Graphics2D objects. That means you can
use
the print function to print a PDF to a PostScript printer driver (set 
to
output to a file if needed). Or you can use PSDocumentGraphics2D from
Apache XML Graphics Commons to create PostScript files but the former 
is
easier. http://pdfbox.apache.org/commandlineutilities/PrintPDF.html 
can
serve as a starting point.

1b. Apache PDFBox cannot create PDF from PostScript because it lacks a
complete PostScript interpreter to start with. You may need to look at
GhostScript for that functionality (available under the GPL or a
commercial license). GhostScript can do PDF->PS, too.

2. See http://pdfbox.apache.org/commandlineutilities/PDFMerger.html

Any follow-up questions to users@pdfbox.apache.org, please.
