Namespace: DevExpress.Pdf

Assembly: DevExpress.Pdf.v19.1.Core.dll

Declaration

C#

public IList<PdfOrientedRectangle> Rectangles { get; }

VB.NET

Public ReadOnly Property Rectangles As IList(Of PdfOrientedRectangle)

Property Value

Type	Description
IList<PdfOrientedRectangle>	A collection of PdfOrientedRectangle values.

Remarks

Tip

The PdfWord.Rectangles property returns more than one DevExpress.Pdf.PdfOrientedRectangle object when a part of a word is carried over to the next line. Use the PdfWord.Segments property to obtain information about each part of the word.

C#

//Declare a list to store the word and its coordinates
List<Tuple<string, PdfOrientedRectangle>> WordCoordinates = new List<Tuple<string, PdfOrientedRectangle>>();
using (PdfDocumentProcessor processor = new PdfDocumentProcessor())
{
    processor.LoadDocument("Document.pdf");
    PdfWord currentWord = processor.NextWord();
    while (currentWord != null)
    {
        for (int i = 0; i < currentWord.Rectangles.Count; i++)
        {
            //Retrieve the rectangle encompassing the word
            var wordRectangle = currentWord.Rectangles[i];

            //Add the segment's content and its coordinates to the list
            WordCoordinates.Add(new Tuple<string, PdfOrientedRectangle>(currentWord.Segments[i].Text, wordRectangle));
        }
        //Switch to the next word
        currentWord = processor.NextWord();
    }
}

VB.NET

'Declare a list to store the word and its coordinates
Dim WordCoordinates As New List(Of Tuple(Of String, PdfOrientedRectangle))()
Using processor As New PdfDocumentProcessor()
    processor.LoadDocument("Document.pdf")
    Dim currentWord As PdfWord = processor.NextWord()
    Do While currentWord IsNot Nothing
        For i As Integer = 0 To currentWord.Rectangles.Count - 1
            'Retrieve the rectangle encompassing the word
            Dim wordRectangle = currentWord.Rectangles(i)

            'Add the segment's content and its coordinates to the list
            WordCoordinates.Add(New Tuple(Of String, PdfOrientedRectangle)(currentWord.Segments(i).Text, wordRectangle))
        Next i
        'Switch to the next word
        currentWord = processor.NextWord()
    Loop
