Hi
Thanks for your request. Unfortunately, there is no direct way to determine on which page a particular node is located. However, you can try using code like the following to achieve this:

private int GetTableStartPageNumber(Table table) throws Exception
{
    // Create a DocumentBuilder and move it to the bookmark.
    DocumentBuilder builder = new DocumentBuilder((Document) table.getDocument());
    builder.moveTo(table.getFirstRow().getFirstCell().getFirstParagraph());
    // Insert a PAGE field and update it.
    Field page = builder.insertField("PAGE");
    builder.getDocument().updatePageLayout();
    page.update();
    int pageNumber = Integer.parseInt(page.getResult());
    // Remove PAGE field.
    page.remove();
    return pageNumber;
}

Hope this helps.
Best regards,

Hi,
I have some problems in getting page number. consider the case when page-1 has a small table and some blank lines (new line char); page-2 has another small table. Then page number of table-2 is retrieved as 1.

Hello
Thanks for your request. I cannot reproduce the problem on my side. I use the following code for testing:

Document doc = new Document("C:\\Temp\\TestTable.doc");
NodeCollection tables = doc.getChildNodes(NodeType.TABLE, true);
for (int i = 0; i <tables.getCount(); i++)
{
    System.out.println("Tabele " + i + " is started on page " + GetTableStartPageNumber((Table) tables.get(i)));
}

There are 8 tables inside your document, and my output looks like this:
Tabele 0 is started on page 1
Tabele 1 is started on page 1
Tabele 2 is started on page 1
Tabele 3 is started on page 3
Tabele 4 is started on page 3
Tabele 5 is started on page 3
Tabele 6 is started on page 3
Tabele 7 is started on page 5
Best regards,
