using IText7.IO.Source; using IText7.Text.Pdf; using IText7.Text.Pdf.TextExtraction; public class FindWordInPdf { public static void Main(string[] args) { // Create a new instance of the PdfDocument class. PdfDocument pdfDocument = new PdfDocument(new PdfReader("my_pdf_file.pdf")); // Create a new instance of the PdfTextExtractor class. PdfTextExtractor pdfTextExtractor = new PdfTextExtractor(pdfDocument); // Create a new instance of the TextExtractionStrategy class. TextExtractionStrategy textExtractionStrategy = new TextExtractionStrategy() { RenderText = (TextRenderInfo textRenderInfo) => { // Get the bounding rectangle of the word you are searching for. Rectangle boundingRectangle = textRenderInfo.GetBaseline().GetBoundingRectange(); // If the bounding rectangle is not empty, print the coordinates of the word. if (!boundingRectangle.IsEmpty) { Console.WriteLine("The word is located at: " + boundingRectangle); } } }; // Set the TextExtractionStrategy object on the PdfTextExtractor object. pdfTextExtractor.SetTextExtractionStrategy(textExtractionStrategy); // Extract the text from the PDF file. pdfTextExtractor.GetTextFromPage(1); // Close the PdfDocument object. pdfDocument.Close(); } }
