> org.apache.pdfbox.text.PDFTextStripper does not really support extraction of content between bookmarks. from looking at the code in pdfbox-parent/pdfbox/src/main/java/org/apache/pdfbox/text/PDFTextStripper.java it is clear that is using the bookmarks that the user provided to determine the pages to extract content from.
> There is a business need to extract the text that lies strictly between bookmarks. Refer to the attached example program and sample file.
> The extraction to the sections in the first page all return the entire first page instead of the content inside each bookmark.
