HiIngo,

First,thank you for the quick response.

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

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

I havethe first working fine whereby each individual page is extracted and is astandalone document. The second, however, is turning out to be more difficult.

Forthe second type of document I'm extracting pages from a 100 page document. Thefirst and second page need to be extracted as one document, the third andfourth page need to be extracted as one document, the fifth and sixth documentneed to be extracted as one document, and so on.

Toextract the pages for the first document I use:

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

I doan initial page count, then loop through while the page number is <= thepage count:

DoWhile intPageno <= intPageCount...For i As integer = 1 to intPageCount

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

Sothat's my first issue, how to get 2 pages extracted in each iteration throughthe loop. I'm confident that if I'm able to successfully extract 2 pages andcreate 1 document from the 2 pages that I'll be able to use theExtractFilePageText successfully to extract only the text on page 1 of eachdocument.

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

Thankyou, Ingo!
