Extracting pages between bookmarks using Javascript

Since bookmarks can do more than just go to a page and the adtion of a bookmark is not available to JavaScript, this is not possible.

Actually, your information was very helpful to me but incorrect.

After reading what you wrote I spent more time digging through the Adobe javascript manual for acrobat, and found that you can execute a bookmark using

thisbookmarkRoot.chilren[x].execute()

where x is the particular child bookmark you want. For a bookmark that, when clicked, goes to a particular page, this construct will do exactly that, take you to a particular page.

From there it's just a matter of getting the page number using something like

var thecurrentpage = this.pageNum;

So if you have a .pdf with bookmarks that mark off a particular section you want to extract, you'd .execute each of them, set a variable to the page you go to (note that you may have to add a 1 to the page since pages start at 0), and then you could do, in my case, an extract ...

Never say never.

You are right, but in general one can not directly access the code associated with a bookmark. Not all bookmarks go to pages, for example you can add any number of actions to a bookmark. So your method will work if and only if the bookmark has a goto page action or a go to destination. It will not work if a new pdf is opened, an alert is popud up, the PDF is switched to full screen, etc.
