Re: Get page number for bookmark

[Adam Nichols <Ad...@swmc.com>]

toArray returns an array of PDPage objects.  Since the PDPage objects do 
not contain the page ID (as far as  can tell), this will not suffice. 
Likewise iterator() and listIterator() both iterate over collections of 
PDPages.  What I need is a list of object IDs for the pages; I don't want 
the actual data in the pages.

Hi Adam,

did you ever try to use one of the following methods:

COSArrayList.iterator
COSArrayList.listIterator
COSArrayList.toArray

All of them should return the data you're looking for.
