Hello,

I don't see a way to conclude from the extracted text at which page a certain text/keyword is located. I have written a script that will use -startPage and -endPage with the same number so that I get only one page. However, doing this 100 times in a row for a 100 page document is very slow.

Would it be possible to add an option that will add a page number indicator, e.g. <PAGENUM=n> at the beginning of each page during text extraction?

Thank you for considering this.

Cheers
Ralf

Hmm, probably it'll help if you define your own page separator using 
PDFTextStripper#getPageSeparator. Ok, you can't include the pagenumber but as a 
starter ...
