Question:

Using 1.8.9

I want to cut a PDF page to a multi-page PDF using crop tools. But when I add more than one page to my PDDocument it doesn't add it at all.

Code example (the original PDPage is a parameter of my function) :

private static void splitPage(int nbOfCrops, PDPage myPage) throws IOException{ PDDocument pdfSplit = new PDDocument(); ArrayList<PDPage> pages = new ArrayList<PDPage>(); float croppingHeight = (myPage.findCropBox().getUpperRightY()/nbOfCrops); for(int page = 0; page<nbOfCrops; page++){ pages.add(myPage); //Creates multiple copies of myPage } int splits = 0; for(PDPage page: pages){ PDRectangle cropBox = page.findCropBox(); PDRectangle rectangle = new PDRectangle(); rectangle.setUpperRightY((float) (cropBox.getUpperRightY() - (croppingHeight* (splits)))); rectangle.setLowerLeftY((float) (cropBox.getUpperRightY() - (croppingHeight*(splits+ 1)))); rectangle.setUpperRightX(cropBox.getUpperRightX()); rectangle.setLowerLeftX(cropBox.getLowerLeftX()); page.setCropBox(rectangle); pdfSplit.addPage(page); splits++; } try { pdfSplit.save("test.pdf"); System.out.println(pdfSplit.getNumberOfPages()); //Always returns 1 pdfSplit.close(); } catch (Exception e) { e.printStackTrace(); } }

So, what should I do/modify to add correctly each cropped pages ?

My document (if you want to see what I want to do) :

I did this, with some improvements to upscale the PDF (particular case).

private static void cutAPDPage(int nbOfCrops, PDPage myPage, int resize) throws IOException{ PDDocument pdfSplit = new PDDocument(); ArrayList<PDPage> pages = new ArrayList<PDPage>(); PDRectangle cropBox = myPage.findCropBox(); PDRectangle newCropBox = new PDRectangle(); newCropBox.setLowerLeftX(cropBox.getLowerLeftX()); newCropBox.setLowerLeftY(cropBox.getLowerLeftY() - resize); newCropBox.setUpperRightX(cropBox.getUpperRightX()); newCropBox.setUpperRightY(cropBox.getUpperRightY() + resize); myPage.setCropBox(newCropBox); PDRectangle mediaBox = myPage.findMediaBox(); PDRectangle newMediaBox = new PDRectangle(); newMediaBox.setLowerLeftX(mediaBox.getLowerLeftX()); newMediaBox.setLowerLeftY(mediaBox.getLowerLeftY() - resize); newMediaBox.setUpperRightX(mediaBox.getUpperRightX()); newMediaBox.setUpperRightY(mediaBox.getUpperRightY() + resize); myPage.setMediaBox(newMediaBox); float croppingHeight = (myPage.findCropBox().getUpperRightY()/nbOfCrops); for(int page = 0; page<nbOfCrops; page++){ pages.add(new PDPage()); } int splits = 0; for(PDPage page: pages){ page = (PDPage) pdf.importPage(myPage); PDRectangle cropBox1 = page.findCropBox(); PDRectangle rectangle = new PDRectangle(); rectangle.setUpperRightY((float) (cropBox1.getUpperRightY() - (croppingHeight * (splits)))); rectangle.setLowerLeftY((float) (cropBox1.getUpperRightY() - (croppingHeight*(splits + 1)))); rectangle.setUpperRightX(cropBox1.getUpperRightX()); rectangle.setLowerLeftX(cropBox1.getLowerLeftX()); page.setCropBox(rectangle); pdfSplit.addPage(page); splits++; } try { pdfSplit.save("split.pdf"); pdfSplit.close(); } catch (Exception e) { e.printStackTrace(); } }

Works like a charm !
