Sorry for the double post. That's my mistake: the question was put on hold, then the OP registered, then I approved the question, but the OP had already reposted it.

These objects contain the PDF Strings the way they are present in the PDF syntax of a content stream. When you use a RegionTextRenderFilter, you get all the snippets of text that intersect with the region of your choice. The snippets aren't 'clipped' to match that region. That's something you'd need to do in the postprocessing of the snippets by using the metrics provided by the TextRenderInfo objects. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.
