What is it that you are trying to achieve? You can parse an existing content stream and look for individual tokens. But there is no guarantee that, what your are calling a box of text, is treated like that in the PDF as there is no such concept. E.g. individual lines, word, characters forming a word … could be placed individually in different operations. It even might not be text but a vector or bitmap image. Your best bet is to look into the content using the PDFDebugger and see if you can identify the parts you are looking for. Maybe you can elaborate a little more on your use case.
