OK, I'm a little further down the road with this. I've used the text extraction methods to check that I'm in the right place on the page, and separately used PRTokeniser to check the content of the page.
However, if I can piece together which tokens of the content I want to remove, how do I go about that? I don't see a way to basically read the tokens and then filter-out and write only the ones I want to (a la a PdfStamper type class). Bonus question: If I want to "set aside" the Strings that I'm not writing to the filtered-output-PDF, is there a way to determine more information about the String tokens (page location, font info, etc.)?
