   ExportOptions options = new ExportOptions();
   options.setFirstPage(5);
   options.setLastPage(8);
   

   Result: will be exported document pages started from page 6 and ending page 9.

   ExportOptions options = new ExportOptions();
   options.setFirstPage(4);
   options.setLastPage(4);
   

   Result: document will contain only one page with index 5. Note: there will be no effect if:

   • FirstPage > LastPage;
   • If FirstPage or / and LastPage < 0
   • If LastPage > document pages number

2. Export only pages with annotations:

   options.setLastPage(8);
   options.setAnnotatedPages(true);
   

   Result: document that contains only annotated pages inside this page range. If there not annotated pages, then document will contains only page from specific range.

3. Export annotations of specific types:

   List<Byte> typesToExport = new ArrayList<Byte>();
   typesToExport.add(AnnotationType.Area);
   typesToExport.add(AnnotationType.Polyline);
   ExportOptions options = new ExportOptions();
   options.setAnnotationTypes(typesToExport);
   

   Result: document that contains only Area and Polyline annotations.

   List<Byte> typesToExport = new ArrayList<Byte>();
   typesToExport.add(AnnotationType.Area);
   ExportOptions options = new ExportOptions();
   options.setAnnotationTypes(typesToExport);
   options.setAnnotatedPages(true);

   List<Byte> typesToExport = new ArrayList<Byte>();
   typesToExport.add(AnnotationType.Area);
   ExportOptions options = new ExportOptions();
   options.setAnnotationTypes(typesToExport);
   options.setAnnotatedPages(true);
   options.setFirstPage(5);
   options.setLastPage(8);
   

   Result: document that contains only annotated pages with only Area annotations inside range from 5 to 8th pag. If no Area annotation inside this range, then document just contains pages from 5 to 8.
