Analyzing Text Measurements in PDFs with C# and .NET
Working with PDF documents is a common task in modern programming. It is often necessary to extract text or obtain information about its size and boundaries for subsequent processing or analysis. Reading additional information about the text in a PDF document is a common task that can be performed using the SautinSoft.PDF library.
In this article, we will look at how to use this SDK to get text borders and sizes from a PDF document using the C# programming language and the .NET platform.
Step-by-step guide:
- Add SautinSoft.PDF from NuGet.
- Load a PDF document.
- Iterate through all PDF pages and through each page's content elements.
- Retrieve only the text content elements.
- Read the text content element's additional information.
- Show text content.
