How to get bookmark's page number
As @theta pointed out "split a pdf based on outline" has the code required to extract page numbers. If you feel this is complicated I copied part of the code which maps page ids to page numbers and made it a function. Here is a working example that prints page number of bookmark o[0]:
from PyPDF2 import PdfFileReader
def _setup_page_id_to_num(pdf, pages=None, _result=None, _num_pages=None):
if _result is None:
_result = {}
if pages is None:
_num_pages = []
pages = pdf.trailer["/Root"].getObject()["/Pages"].getObject()
t = pages["/Type"]
if t == "/Pages":
for page in pages["/Kids"]:
_result[page.idnum] = len(_num_pages)
_setup_page_id_to_num(pdf, page.getObject(), _result, _num_pages)
elif t == "/Page":
_num_pages.append(1)
return _result
# main
f = open('document.pdf','rb')
p = PdfFileReader(f)
# map page ids to page numbers
pg_id_num_map = _setup_page_id_to_num(p)
o = p.getOutlines()
pg_num = pg_id_num_map[o[0].page.idnum] + 1
print(pg_num)
probably too late for @theta but might help others :) btw my first post on stackoverflow so excuse me if I did not follow the usual format
To extend this further: If you are looking to get the exact location on the page for a bookmark this will make your job easier:
from PyPDF2 import PdfFileReader
import PyPDF2 as pyPdf
def _setup_page_id_to_num(pdf, pages=None, _result=None, _num_pages=None):
if _result is None:
_result = {}
if pages is None:
_num_pages = []
pages = pdf.trailer["/Root"].getObject()["/Pages"].getObject()
t = pages["/Type"]
if t == "/Pages":
for page in pages["/Kids"]:
_result[page.idnum] = len(_num_pages)
_setup_page_id_to_num(pdf, page.getObject(), _result, _num_pages)
elif t == "/Page":
_num_pages.append(1)
return _result
def outlines_pg_zoom_info(outlines, pg_id_num_map, result=None):
if result is None:
result = dict()
if type(outlines) == list:
for outline in outlines:
result = outlines_pg_zoom_info(outline, pg_id_num_map, result)
elif type(outlines) == pyPdf.pdf.Destination:
title = outlines['/Title']
result[title.split()[0]] = dict(title=outlines['/Title'], top=outlines['/Top'], \
left=outlines['/Left'], page=(pg_id_num_map[outlines.page.idnum]+1))
return result
# main
pdf_name = 'document.pdf'
f = open(pdf_name,'rb')
pdf = PdfFileReader(f)
# map page ids to page numbers
pg_id_num_map = _setup_page_id_to_num(pdf)
outlines = pdf.getOutlines()
bookmarks_info = outlines_pg_zoom_info(outlines, pg_id_num_map)
print(bookmarks_info)
Note: My bookmarks are section numbers (ex: 1.1 Introduction) and I am mapping the bookmark info to the section number. If your bookmarks are different modify this part of the code:
elif type(outlines) == pyPdf.pdf.Destination:
title = outlines['/Title']
result[title.split()[0]] = dict(title=outlines['/Title'], top=outlines['/Top'], \
left=outlines['/Left'], page=(pg_id_num_map[outlines.page.idnum]+1))
In 2019, for ones who are interested in a faster way, it's possible to use:
from PyPDF2 import PdfFileReader
def printPageNumberFrom(filename):
with open(filename, "rb") as f:
pdf = PdfFileReader(f)
bookmarks = pdf.getOutlines()
for b in bookmarks:
print(pdf.getDestinationPageNumber(b) + 1) #page count starts from 0
