ExtractPageRanges

   Hi folks, I'm considering buying QuickPDF for a very simple feature that I need, the ability to copy some pages from one document to a new (empty) one. I tried the ExtractPageRanges method but the font information is lost, how can I accomplish that without loosing font (name, size, style...)?

Thanks in advance.

	Hi! Perhaps you should try "ClonePages" ... Another point: If something lost after page transformation you should use "CombineLayers" before 'cause the page properties can be on several layers. Cheers and welcome here, Ingo Edited by Ingo - 23 Nov 09 at 11:33AM

	Hi Ingo, thanks for your reply. I just didn't get how can I use ClonePages in my particular case. I need to split one document of several pages in various one page documents. How can I use ClonePages for doing this? I looked on the help and it shows that ClonePages can be used just for cloning pages inside the same document, a little bit different of what I want to accomplish. Any help will be welcome. Thanks in advance. Regards, Anderson.

	Hi! The question is... where are the font-information? In your extracted page or anywhere else? So first check which are the used fonts and add them to your extracted page(s) later? Only ideas - not a solution ;-) Cheers, Ingo

	Hi Ingo, I used FindFonts to enumerate all the fonts used in the source document, here is the list: URWBookmanL-DemiBoldItal Type: Type1 NimbusRomNo9L-Regu Type: Type1 NimbusRomNo9L-Regu Type: Type1 URWBookmanL-Ligh Type: Type1 URWBookmanL-Ligh Type: Type1 URWBookmanL-LighItal Type: Type1 URWBookmanL-LighItal Type: Type1 NimbusRomNo9L-Medi Type: Type1 NimbusRomNo9L-Medi Type: Type1 URWBookmanL-DemiBold Type: Type1 URWBookmanL-DemiBold Type: Type1 Symbol Type: Standard When I do the same thing in the target document FindFonts returns zero. The question is how can I add these fonts to the target document with the information available on the source PDF.

	These fonts are not the from QP supported standard fonts. If they are really embedded then you should get them. If there are only font references in the document you should have these fonts on your machine, too. If you want to embedd these fonts you can use AddTrueTypeFont or AddTrueTypeFontFromFile. BTW: The new QuickPDF library demo contains font-samples, too. Cheers, Ingo
