I wrote this code for you to do this task in a different way:
PDDocument doc = PDDocument.load("c:/temp/2013_DA_Schmitz.pdf");
PDPage p =
doc.getDocumentCatalog().getDocumentOutline().getFirstChild().findDestinationPage(doc);
List<PDPage> pages = doc.getDocumentCatalog().getAllPages();
for (int i=0; i<pages.size(); i++)
if (pages.get(i).equals(p))
System.out.println(i);
doc.close();
This looks up the page number of the first bookmark in the file, and it
returns 14 (remember it's 0-based).
