Assuming...

-- You are working with a Microsoft Word document.
-- You have actual page breaks between pages

...you can create an array of the text on each page by getting the
document contents' text and splitting it on the page break. So, where
doc is your Word document object, you can do this:

pages = doc.content.text.split("\f")
pages.each do |page|
# do something with this page's text
end

Hope that helps.

If you want only text contents, try this

require 'win32ole'
word = WIN32OLE.new('word.application')
file = 'c:/work/test.doc'
doc = word.documents.open(file,'ReadOnly' => true)
page = doc.ComputeStatistics(2) # wdStatisticPages = 2
for i in 1..page
word.selection.goto(1,1,i) # wdGoToPage = 1
word.selection.goto(-1,0,0,'\page') # wdGoToBookmark = -1
puts "PAGE #{i}"
puts word.selection.text
end
word.activedocument.close(false)
word.quit

Thanks a lot Park, you are genius.

My requirements is that I have a document (Word file) of say 3 pages
with formatted text.

I need to extract the contents of each page with formatting and save
that as a seprate .PDF document.

Is this possible? If yes how can I do that?

Also, do I need to install Office 2007 in order to save files as .PDF
documents.

Kindly let me know.

You must be trying to solve a problem (word document convertation to
pdf) with a wrong tool:). You don't need ruby to convert word file to
pdf. There are tools like Word2pdf for this.

Agreed, but I have to create 3 seprate doc files out of one document
(each page of the document) and send these files as input to the pdf
converter

If you have Word2pdf like program, then check if you can specify which
page to covert. You could call Word2pdf several times specifying
different page numbers to convert.

Word2pdf -n 1 infile.doc out1.pdf
Word2pdf -n 2 infile.doc out2.pdf
Word2pdf -n 3 infile.doc out3.pdf

:D
The only thing here is to find(have) Word2pdf program which supports
that :).

Surely, openoffice must have something - you can export word documents
as PDFs - there may be a corresponding command line utility...

But they get jobs rather than sitting at the union hall looking at each other.
Unions have outlived their value to one another and to industry that must now
compete on a global scale.
