Any way to read GoTo destinations?

[Wayne Brissette]

James (or anybody else):

I'm trying to see if there's a way that I could read the names of the GoTo address (xref) in a PDF document. Looking at the PDF Spec, there seems to be a way, but I can quite sort out the right combination with PDF-Reader.

Anybody have luck doing this?

So you'd like access to the raw offset numbers that are stored in the
xref table(s)?

pdf-reader definitely reads those numbers, but they're currently not
exposed via a public API.

The data is stored in a private instance variable on
`PDF::Reader::ObjectHash`, so you could hack a solution together as a
trial:

xref = PDF::Reader.new("file.pdf").objects.send(:xref)
