Reading a particular page from a PDF document using PDFBox

Question

How do I read a particular page (given a page number) from a PDF document using PDFBox?

Answer 1

This should work:

PDPage firstPage = (PDPage)doc.getAllPages().get( 0 );

as seen in the BookMark section of the tutorial

Update 2015, Version 2.0.0 SNAPSHOT

Seems this was removed and put back (?). getPage is in the 2.0.0 javadoc. To use it:

PDDocument document = PDDocument.load(new File(filename));
PDPage doc = document.getPage(0);

The getAllPages method has been renamed getPages

PDPage page = (PDPage)doc.getPages().get( 0 );

Answer 2

//Using PDFBox library available from http://pdfbox.apache.org/  
//Writes pdf document of specific pages as a new pdf file

//Reads in pdf document  
PDDocument pdDoc = PDDocument.load(file);

//Creates a new pdf document  
PDDocument document = null;

//Adds specific page "i" where "i" is the page number and then saves the new pdf document   
try {   
    document = new PDDocument();   
    document.addPage((PDPage) pdDoc.getDocumentCatalog().getAllPages().get(i));   
    document.save("file path"+"new document title"+".pdf");  
    document.close();  
}catch(Exception e){}
