ExtractFilePages only odd number pages

Hi Ingo,

First, thank you for the quick response.

Second, please forgive my ignorance, but I'm not quite following you.

I'm going to try to explain in detail what I'm doing, what I need. I'm extracting pages from two separate PDFs. I've created one application that will extract pages and read text from both. Theoretically, at least.

I have the first working fine whereby each individual page is extracted and is a standalone document. The second, however, is turning out to be more difficult.

For the second type of document I'm extracting pages from a 100 page document. The first and second page need to be extracted as one document, the third and fourth page need to be extracted as one document, the fifth and sixth document need to be extracted as one document, and so on.

To extract the pages for the first document I use:

FuncReturnResult = DPL.ExtractFilePages (strFileName, "", strPathName + "\" + strPage, CStr(intPageno))

I do an initial page count, then loop through while the page number is <= the page count:

Do While intPageno <= intPageCount...For i As integer = 1 to intPageCount

"intPageno" is incremented as we progress through the loop. Using this variable for an ExtractFilePages parameter obviously doesn't work when I need to extract two pages each time.

So that's my first issue, how to get 2 pages extracted in each iteration through the loop. I'm confident that if I'm able to successfully extract 2 pages and create 1 document from the 2 pages that I'll be able to use the ExtractFilePageText successfully to extract only the text on page 1 of each document.

Having explained my issue would you please be so kind as to tell me how I could go about extracting 2 pages from the 100 page document, extracting the next 2, then the next 2, and so on? Maybe provide an example?

Thank you, Ingo!
