I have extracted a rectangle form a pdf and stamped it to a new pdf. Now I have to translate that pdf into text and use it to look up data from my database. I have cropped the original pdf down to just the rectangle with the text I need. However when I then convert the new PDF to text it is converting all the hidden content from the original pdf. Is there a way to just get the text from a specific region of a pdf? Thanks for any help, Kurt
