Closed Johann-S closed 8 years ago

Johann-S commented 8 years ago

Hi, First of all thank you for your awesome library.

My question is, How can I retrieve coordinate of a seached text in a PDF with PdfToText ?

Hello Johann,

Thanks for your greetings !

What kind of coordinates do you want to retrieve ? page number ? line and character position ? graphical position on a page ?

I want to retrieve graphical position on a page for a searched text

christian-vigh-phpclasses commented 8 years ago

It is not yet implemented (the original goal of this class was simply to extract text from pdf files).

Currently I’m not tracking graphical coordinates ; I’m just processing text drawing instructions in the order they arrive, hoping that they arrive in the correct order (which is not the case sometimes…).

I plan in the future to write a version 2 of my class that will try to approximate the graphical page layout into an ascii page layout, which will be a tough task. But you’ll have to be patient for that… However, in that context, it will make sense that this version 2 keeps track of graphical text coordinates, so I add it to my todo list.
