Output Files

single file

In default mode, PDFdeconstruct will generate a single XML file with the following structure.

doc.xml:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <pdf> <info>...</info> <outline>...</outline> <page>...</page> <page>...</page> ... <resources>...</resources> </pdf>

separate resources

With the -sepres option, the page elements are moved into a separate XML file.

doc.xml:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <pdf> <info>...</info> <outline>...</outline> <resources>...</resources> </pdf>
pages.xml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <pdf> <page>...</page> <page>...</page> ... </pdf>

separate pages

With the -seppages option, each page element is moved into its own XML file.

doc.xml:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <pdf> <info>...</info> <outline>...</outline> <resources>...</resources> </pdf>
page000001.xml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <pdf> <page>...</page> </pdf>
page000002.xml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <pdf> <page>...</page> </pdf>
and so on for each remaining page.
