Hello,

You should be able to create a new thread, but I'll move this out of the old thread and create a new one for you.

The short answer is no, BC3 does not have a method of knowing the PDF pages, as the text output is a single large file. If there are any markers you can use to ignore the section of text within the text itself, we could define a grammar to match on that block of text and ignore it. For details on that setup, please see this KB article:
