Hello Lukas,
This mailing list doesn't accept attachments; you probably want to use a 
hosting site instead. 

I am currently working on a project that needs to identify text on a page 
within a rectangle. 

This may or may not be appropriate but to do this I Overrride 
"PDFGraphicsStreamEngine"; Which has a method appendRectangle, if your PDF 
creation application is well behaved you can just use that. That said in the 
real world a rectangle can be made up of lines and moves, so you may have a bit 
more work to do.  If you have the coordinates of the start of the string, then 
you could enumerate the rectangles to see if the point was in a rectangle. Or 
you could use do things slightly in reverse and use the bounds of the rectangle 
and use the TextStripperByArea to get the text in the rectangle and identify if 
the string is what you are looking for.
Unfortunately I can't share my project code but if you can find somewhere to 
host the PDF, I will see if I can use it as a test for my code and if that is 
successful provide something by way of a slimmed down example.

Hello,
 
  
 
I am trying to find (x,y,widht,height) of a box containing a text within an PDF 
document. Locating the text by inheriting the TextPosition was pretty 
straightforward, but I had to realize that I don’t know PDF Operators well 
enough to locate the box. 
 
  
 
Can somebody please have a look at the PDF I attached and tell me which „q“ – 
„Q“ block represents my „FIND ME“ Box. Can I subclass PDFRenderer to get the 
Box position?
 
  
 
Regards,
 
Lukas
