Description
Users want the ability to extract section info from PDF like we can from HTML or Word.
Does -complex work for this?
Will new converters handle this better?

PDFBox api has some hooks that will let us get section information out of a PDF (assuming the info is there in the PDF). This goes beyond the default PDFtoHTML/txt utility provided by apache, but should be doable with a bit of programming effort on our part.

PDFBox now works with PDFPlugin's use_sections flag (http://trac.greenstone.org/ticket/753)
Regarding this ticket, what sort of section info is to be extracted (is it metadata embedded in the PDF)?
Note:
See TracTickets
for help on using tickets.
adobe pdf reference manual has sections and toc apparently. test on that.
