You are under the mistaken impression that he PDF objects here are the same as
the graphic objects on a page. They are NOT.
Grab a copy of ISO 32000-1, the PDF standard, and read up…

Subject: [Podofo-users] Extract text/lines + coords from a pdf
I have been trying for a while to use this library to extract text and lines
(with their respective coordinates). But I have no way to do this. Attached is
the pdf I am testing it on.
This is what I have so far:
PdfVecObjects *x = new PdfVecObjects();
PdfParser parser(x, filename);
parser.ParseFile("hello.pdf");
for (TIVecObjects obj = x->begin(); obj != x->end(); obj++){
PdfObject * a = x->RemoveObject(obj);
// THIS IS MY PROBLEM VVVVVVVVVV
cout << a->Reference().ToString() << endl;
}
However, this only gives me incredibly basic information (seems to be object
number)
1 0 R
2 0 R
3 0 R
4 0 R
5 0 R
6 0 R
7 0 R
8 0 R
9 0 R
10 0 R
11 0 R
I want to print out the coordinates of an object, and if it's a line or text.
If it's text, I would also like to be able to print out the text. Does anyone
that knows this library better than I do know what I could do to fix this?
