> Hi,  
>  
> I am extracting text from pdf file and saving it in a 
> textfile. Each bookmark in a pdf file i am saving as a 
> different text file. Everything fine up to some level. 
> But as I am using start book mark and endbookmark as a 
> delimeters for pdftextstripper I am getting text 
> content between those bookmarks, and since one book 
> mark should be saved as individual file, In this text 
> file i am getting the first page of endbookmark which 
> i dont want. So can anybody suggest me the solution to 
> avoid the above problem. For your reference i am 
> pasting my code below.
