Hi,
Is it possible read a PDF, extract a page and create a new one using the new fcl-pdf?
If yes, could you send an example how I can do that?

I'm sure it is possible - there are PDF-to-Text tools around. Is it possible with the current fcl-pdf code? No. The fcl-pdf was designed to work the other way.... take content (code, JSON etc) and create PDF's.

Right.
PDF-to-text is not an option because I need to extract the page with the same appearance as the
original so I can't rewrite the page.
Thanks for answer.
