Hi,

i can read formfields with

for i := 1 to PDFLibrary.FormFieldCount do

begin

x := PDFLibrary.GetFormFieldBound(i, 0);

y := PDFLibrary.GetFormFieldBound(i, 1);

w := PDFLibrary.GetFormFieldBound(i, 2);

h := PDFLibrary.GetFormFieldBound(i, 3);

s := PDFLibrary.GetFormFieldTextSize(i);

a := PDFLibrary.GetFormFieldAlignment(i);

...

and i get also the alignment of this field in a.

now i want to read textblocks (written with align center or right)

for f := 1 to PDFLibrary.GetTextBlockCount(id) do

begin

s := PDFLibrary.GetTextBlockFontSize(id, f);

fn := PDFLibrary.GetTextBlockFontName(id, f);

for j := 1 to 8 do

begin

box[j] := PDFLibrary.GetTextBlockBound(id, f, j);

end;

but here are all textblocks minimized to there content, i can't get the original size and alignment!

Is there a way to do it?

Ciao

Stefan

Hi Stefan,

you won't get a value for a block-align 'cause inside the block different aligns are possible i think.
In this sample you'll see what'spossible:
