how to read marked content from tagged pdf

[Chenping Ni <cn...@infogix.com>]

I am using what is in SVN (pdfbox 1.0.1 SNAPSHOT)

(I have seen some new/updated code in 

  org.apache.pdfbox.pdmodel.documentinterchange.logicalstructure package

and org.apache.pdfbox.pdmodel.documentinterchange.markedcontent package
since 1.0.0 official release).

 

I have created marked_content.pdf (using iText code). I have seen these
tags fine from Acrobat.

 

The structure is like this:

 

(Top level) "Everything" (a Sect)

 It has three <p> children (I will call it p1 p2 and p3, actually there
are all just "P"s). Each "P" has some text in it.

 

 

P1:  1It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, 2it was the
age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, 3it was the epoch of
belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, 4it was the season of Light, it
was the season of Darkness, 5it was the spring of hope, it was the
winter of despair.

 

P2: 

 1We had everything before us, we had nothing before us, 2we were all
going direct to Heaven, we were all going direct 3the other way-in
short, the period was so far like the present 4period, that some of its
noisiest authorities insisted on its 5being received, for good or for
evil, in the superlative degree 6of comparison only.

 

P3:  It was the best of times.

 

How do we read the text back using PDFBox (SVN newest code)?

 

I have been using PDDocumentCatalog docCatalog =
pdfDocument.getDocumentCatalog();

And PDStructureTreeRoot structureTreeRoot =
docCatalog.getStructureTreeRoot();

 

I have looked at the content of structureTreeRoot, just cannot find
these text content.

 

Could anyone kindly tell me how to get to the text?

 

Thanks,

 

Tom
