Iterate and access the pages under sub bookmark
Hi,
I am trying to access the pages which are under the sub bookmark .
Below is the structure of the pdf file and under it there sub
bookmarks. These sub bookmarks have multiple pages which are basically
forms extended to more than one page. I am able to get to those sub
bookmark. However, cannot iterate over those pages or get any specific
page i need to edit or resize?
Can anyone please suggest or help? I can share the code but cannot
share the confidential pdf which I am working on. I tried finding the
sample document online but couldn't find any. My question is similar
to the below link which i found on stackover flow.
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/45002625/how-to-load-the-pages-which-are-under-the-sub-bookmark-using-pdf-box

-page1
-page2
-page3
-page4
- .
- .
-page10|_secondBookMark (1-5 pages)
-page1
-page2
-page3
-page4
-page5|_thirdBookMark (1-8 pages)
-page1

Re: Iterate and access the pages under sub bookmark
Posted by Gilad Denneboom <gi...@gmail.com>.
A bookmark doesn't point to a range of pages. It *can *point to a single
page, and then the next one points to another page, etc.
The range between those two bookmarks is imaginary, as the second bookmark
can do something else entirely (like open a web-page), or point to a page
before the previous bookmark, or do nothing at all...
So what you need to do is get the next sibling (which you are doing), and
then check what it does. If it indeed points to a page number, and that
number is greater than (or equal to) the page number pointed to by the
current bookmark then you have your "range" and you can do with it as you
wish.
You also need to decide how to handle the last bookmark. Is the "range"
it's pointing to a single page? Or is it that page until the end of the
file? etc.

Adding to my previous email this is the basic structure
*PDF -> MainBookMark -> subBookMark1 -> pages( 1- 10 etc..)*

Re: Iterate and access the pages under sub bookmark
Posted by Mustafa Farooqui <mu...@gmail.com>.
Below is my code and pdf structure which am working on. I am stuck at a
point where i am trying to get the pages which are under the "subBookMark1".
These pages are basically forms which are more than one pages. I am not
sure how to iterate over these pages under subBookMark1. Like page 1, page2
, page 3 etc. Hope this information helps you to understand my issue?
Below is my PDF structure
*MainBookMarkName
|_subBookMark1 (1-10 pages)
-page1
-page2
-page3
-page4
- .
- .
-page10
|_**subBookMark2** (1-5 pages)*
* -page1
-page2
-page3
-page4
-page5
|_**subBookMark3 ** (1-8 pages)*
* -page1
-page2
-page3
- .
- .
-page8
|_**subBookMark4*
*
|_
|_
|_**subBookMark5*
My Code
public static PDPage printBookmark(PDDocument document, PDOutlineNode node,
String indentation)
throws IOException {
PDOutlineItem mainBookMark= node.getFirstChild();
PDOutlineItem subBookMark1= mainBookMark.getFirstChild();
while (subBookMark1!= null) {
System.out.println(subBookMark1.getTitle());
if (subBookMark1.getDestination() instanceof PDPageDestination) {
if (subBookMark1.getTitle().equals("subBookMark1 Title")) {
PDPageDestination pd = (PDPageDestination) subBookMark1.getDestination();
System.out.println("Destination page: " + (pd.retrievePageNumber() + 1));
return pd.getPage();
}
}
printBookmark(document, subBookMark1, indentation + " ");
subBookMark1= subBookMark1.getNextSibling();
}
return null;
}

Re: Iterate and access the pages under sub bookmark
Posted by Gilad Denneboom <gi...@gmail.com>.
What exactly is the issue? Do you know how to access the Outline root? Do
you know how to proceed from there to the children/siblings (this will
require a recursive function, unless you know there is only a fixed amount
of levels in the bookmark hierarchy)? Do you know how to access the
action(s) associated with each bookmark?
It would be helpful if you could let us know to which point you've arrived,
and where you got stuck...
