How can I write all the pages in the text document

I am trying to write extracted text of the pdf file into text document but currently, only the first page is being written in the text document although 6 pages are being output in the console of eclipse.

How can I fix that?

I appreciate any help.

       try {
            PdfReader reader = new PdfReader("D:\\hl_sv\\L09MF.pdf");
            int pagenumber = reader.getNumberOfPages();

            for (int i = 1; i <= pagenumber; i++) {
                System.out.println("==================PAGE NUMBER " + i
                        + "===================");
                String line = PdfTextExtractor.getTextFromPage(reader, i);


                PrintWriter out = new PrintWriter("D:\\hl_sv\\L09MF.txt");
                for (String s : line.split("\n")) {
                    out.println(s);
                }

                out.close();

                System.out.println(line);
            }

Try moving the instantiation and closing of the PrintWriter outside of the main for loop:

try {
        PdfReader reader = new PdfReader("D:\\hl_sv\\L09MF.pdf");
        int pagenumber = reader.getNumberOfPages();
        PrintWriter out = new PrintWriter("D:\\hl_sv\\L09MF.txt");

        for (int i = 1; i <= pagenumber; i++) {
            System.out.println("==================PAGE NUMBER " + i
                    + "===================");
            String line = PdfTextExtractor.getTextFromPage(reader, i);



            for (String s : line.split("\n")) {
                out.println(s);
            }



            System.out.println(line);
        }
    out.close();

I'm not sure if that'll do the trick but it may help as the PrintWriterkeeps opening and closing every page.

Try to use your output variable out of loop, maybe helps

try {
    PdfReader reader = new PdfReader("D:\\hl_sv\\L09MF.pdf");
    PrintWriter out = new PrintWriter("D:\\hl_sv\\L09MF.txt");
    int pagenumber = reader.getNumberOfPages();

for (int i = 1; i <= pagenumber; i++) {
   System.out.println("==================PAGE NUMBER " + i
                + "===================");
   String line = PdfTextExtractor.getTextFromPage(reader, i);

   for (String s : line.split("\n")) {
       out.println(s);
   }


   System.out.println(line);

   }
   out.close();
