full line text extraction

   Hi,

I'm using text extraction functions (activex v7.22 b2) to extract words with coordinates.
I'll need to extract full-line text with line coordinates. Do I have any solution for doing this?

Alin

	Hi Alin! QuickPDF doesn't have this option but it will support you... You can extract complete pages, strings like they were inserted and single words. Take the word-option and concatenate the complete lines regarding the position data of each word. If you have this algorithm completed please insert it here in the samples-section 'cause i need it, too ;-) Cheers and thanks in advance, Ingo Edited by Ingo - 25 Nov 10 at 3:36PM

	Hi Ingo, Thanks for you answer. I'll post the algo soon; I have some problems with the tables (the OCR engine "read" tables by line/column about a random?! criteria). Alin

	Hi Ingo, I've posted a basic sample (see code sample) of text assembling lines based on Y1 or Y2 coordinate of words (GetPageText(4) function); for a more accurate result, I think that it'll need a control variable for Y coordinate different values for the words of the same line. Cheers, Alin
