If you are using LoadFromFile then it would be better to use the GetPageText(8); call.

  nPage = 1
  strInputFilePath="c:\rnw.pdf"
  tt = QP.LoadFromFile(strInputFilePath, “”)

  QP.SelectPage(1);

  QP.SetOrigin(1);
  QP.SetTextExtractionArea(1, 1, QP.PageWidth(), 3 * 72);   // 72pts = 1 inch
  strText = QP.GetPageText(8);

Note: If you use the ExtractFilePageText call then it gets a little more complicated as you need to use the QP.DASetTextExtractionArea function and the native PDF coordinate system as SetOrigin doesn't work with the DA functions and you don't have access to the Page Height and Width until you open the file.  It is easier to work with the standard functions and GetPageText().

I am using the following code to extract text from a pdf file in Visual Basic, and it works great.  But I can not figure out how to set the "text Extraction area" to only a portion of the pdf file, say like the firts 3 inches of the pdf file.
 
nPage = 1
strInputFilePath="c:\rnw.pdf"
tt = QP.LoadFromFile(strInputFilePath, “”)
strtext = QP.ExtractFilePageText(strInputFilePath, "", nPage, 8)
 
Any help on where to find this would be great.
