Hi!

The rectangles for textstrings or even single words you can get in QuickPDF with the textextract-functions and option 3 (strings) or 4 (single words). With this functions you'll get the four values for the points top, left/ bottom, left/top, right/ bottom, right of each word ... the necessary values for your rectangle.

I need to find the rectangles that make up the paragraphs and/or blocksof text in a PDF page. I have looked at iTextSharp and DataLogics. Thebest I have been able to do is find individual words. However, I can not seem to find the rectangle that holds the entire block of text.

My goal is to rasterize a page.  The use C# to draw outlines around the text blocks/paragraphs in each page.

I am using C#. Can Quick PDF do this for me?  Please let me know.]]> Wed, 15 Apr 2009 17:27:24 +0000 http://www.quickpdf.org/forum/finding-text-paragraph-rectangles_topic1061_post4973.html#4973
