Unfortunately it has the same result.

I can call VBA codes from Python so they are definitely useful. I ran your code and it does extract headers just as needed. Only problem is that they all get added in bulk at the beginning of the next section. I need to retain their original position as much as possible (at least so they come after the text the come after in the PDF).
Might be a stupid idea as I am unfamiliar with how Word works, but can we for example get the x,y coordinates of these paragraphs and insert text "above them". Or something similar so we can keep the position as closely as possible?
