No, but you can extract Actual Text with its coordinates and figure out
what to discard.
Note that there are two things that look like text but are not
characters-in-the-content-stream:
1) Images with text. You need OCR.
2) Paths (lines) in the shape of characters. You need OCR.
In general, you need OCR. Your specific case may be able to use the
PdfContentStreamProcessor et al. Check out the source for
SimpleTextExtractingPdfContentStreamProcessor, and get coordinates as
well.

Subject: [iText-questions] Data mining with iTextSharp
Hello all,
Is it possible to extract text from specific region from pdf. What I
mean is can we define co-ordinates of a rectangle or through some other
way and than extract text from that specific region ?
Regards,
Zain
