Description
Parses a page.The function parses a page and stores the page contents in a objects internally. Once a page was parsed various functions can be called, e.g. to extract the text of a page, to find and replace text, or to delete arbitrary operators.
The page that should be parsed should be closed, that means it should not be opened for editing beforehand with DynaPDF.EditPage or DynaPDF.AppendPage. The function can parse an open page too but this can lead to errors and is not recommended.
If the function succeeds the return value is true. If the function fails the return value is false.
