----------------------------------

             Summary: Extracting text between bookmarks not working
                 Key: PDFBOX-3079
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-3079
             Project: PDFBox
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Text extraction
    Affects Versions: 2.0.0
         Environment: Windows
            Reporter: rey bernal
            Priority: Critical
             Fix For: 2.0.0


org.apache.pdfbox.text.PDFTextStripper does not really support extraction of content between bookmarks. from looking at the code in pdfbox-parent/pdfbox/src/main/java/org/apache/pdfbox/text/PDFTextStripper.java it is clear that is using the bookmarks that the user provided to determine the pages to extract content from.

There is a business need to extract the text that lies strictly between bookmarks. Refer to the attached example program and sample file.
The extraction to the sections in the first page all return the entire first page instead of the content inside each bookmark.
