Is there a way to enumerate the drawing commands?

Much like GetPageText gets font size, location, text, and a few other things, is there a way to get a list of shapes (lines, boxes, circles) drawn and their coordinates?

hrdware,

This is a complex problem that is not currently possible with Debenu Quick PDF Library.

A lot of this depends on the complexity of the PDF file. A line has a colour, pattern, transparency, thickness etc and coordinates and some of these items are set much further up in the list of drawing commands and it can get more complex with saving / restoring graphics states and XObjects (like macros).
