Need Help??

gopalr has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Hi Monks,

PDF File Contains Page No as follows:

162(1 of 7)
163(2 of 7)
164(3 of 7)
165(4 of 7)
166(5 of 7)
167(6 of 7)
168(7 of 7)
[download]

I can get the PDF page number (i.e. 1 to 7) by using CAM::PDF Module.

my $doc = CAM::PDF->new($file) || die "$CAM::PDF::errstr\n";
my $pages = $doc->numPages();
[download]

Please advice me that how to get the actual page number i.e. 162 to 168.

Thanks,
Gopal R.

Is it always this way? You could add 155 to the PDF number.	[reply]

Hi No. The Page number may vary depends upon the file.	[reply]

Using CAM::PDF, you can parse the document and find the string that corresponds to what you're looking for. As for how? I dunno. You might want to look at the source for Test::PDF which uses CAM::PDF to verify that two PDFs contain the same data and structure and see what stvn does there. My criteria for good software: Does it work? Can someone else come in, make a change, and be reasonably certain no bugs were introduced?	[reply]
