Retrieving coordinates of PDF graphical elements with PDFSharp

I actually asked this question already Extract graphical Elements and its coordinate from PDF but I was supposed to write the project in Java.... unfortunately there is no function for this. Plse see the link. I was wondering if PDFSharp has the feature of extracting the coordinats of the graphical elements such as rectangle or so.

Solution

  • PDFsharp can open and modify PDF files, but it cannot display them and it does not provide access to elements of a page.

    Finding the co-ordinates where elements are drawn is not a simple task as transformations may apply to the drawing instructions. I never used iText so I don't know if it can do it. PDFsharp can not.

    PDFsharp cannot render PDF files. If it could easily determine the co-ordinates of graphical objects, it could easily render PDF files.
