in reply to [PDF::API2] How to import a page

UPDATE: When I examine the security details of the original pdf file, I see "Page Extraction: Not Allowed" .... maybe that has something to do with the problem ?

Maybe, try http://search.cpan.org/dist/CAM-PDF/bin/getpdftext.pl to see if it can help

    I wanted the entire page (not just the text content).

    It didn't occur to me that the provider of the pdf file from which I wish to copy the page might have put such settings in place ... I probably ought to respect his intentions.
    I've just tried the script with another pdf file that doesn't have any security settings - and the script then works fine.

    Cheers,
    Rob
