Copy page content is not supported (license violation motives), you can use the below APIs to get page's text:
ObjsGetCharCount
ObjsGetCharFontName
ObjsGetCharIndex
ObjsGetCharRect
ObjsStart
ObjsGetString
or you can copy page from one pdf to another and/or merge pdfs, check PDFTestAct.concat_pdf in RDPDFReader module (premium license is needed)

Using the above methods can I generate new pdf with that content ?
What about pdf has images, boxes and other types rather than text, how to read those and print in new pdf ?

You need to save & close "B" first, then reopen it and add text and/or image using PageContent methods.
Check PDFTestAct.NewImagePage, PDFTestAct.NewPage.

In your case you will use m_doc.GetPage instead of m_doc.NewPage

For text, you can get the text with respective position and add it into another, but this wont include font information (license violation motives)
for other types, currently is not supported (you can only copy the whole page)
