By default the origin is set to the bottom left hand corner.  I changed this to the Top Left Hand corner using the SetOrigin function (I tried before and after I opened the PDF File), but the coordinates from the DAExtractPageText function did not change and are still referenced from the bottom left hand corner.
 
So when extracting text from a PDF file is it always referenced from the bottom left hand corner regardless of what I set the Origin to?
