Margins when adding new page

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   I have existing PDF document to which I am adding the page. I need to add some text to the page and position it at the same left offset as the text in the existing pages.I understand that PDF does not have the notion of margins, but:

Is it possible to determine the offset of the existing text from left and top edges of the existing page?

	Hi Toran! With option 3 you can do textextraction with position- and font-data of the textcontent. Then you only need to compare these data with width and height of the complete page. Cheers, Ingo Edited by Ingo - 18 Jan 13 at 5:58PM
