PDF Bookmark names

["Calderbank, John A" <jo...@optum.com>]

Hello:

I am working with a PDF containing multiple documents - each of which has a named bookmark.  I need to access the bookmark names as part of a reconciliation application that I am building.  How can I use PDFBox to do that?

Thank you very much ...

John
