Extracting text between two bookmarks using Apache PdfBox
I am using Apache PDFBox to read a PDF document which has a hierarchy, which is defined by the bookmarks. The hierarchy is in a tree form with contents only at the leaf level. When I try to extract the text between two leaf level bookmarks(using Stripper.setStartBookmark(), Stripper.setEndBookmark() and Stripper.writeText()), I get the text in the whole page instead. In short, my problem is similar to that mentioned in http://www.java-forums.org/advanced-java/51032-pdox-1-6-0-extract-text-between-2-bookmarks-same-page-sos.html
Is there a way to extract the contents between two bookmarks? If so, what should be the change in my code?

Thank you for your reply Edson Alves Pereira, but I am sure that my PDF structure is in a proper manner, i.e. there are several bookmarks within in a single page and some text between leaf level bookmarks. It is not the other way round, i.e. a page within a bookmark.

Is possible that your whole page is inside a bookmark, check how is your pdf structure.
