Hi:
The final objective of the project is to edit the text contained in a pdf file.
1-As an initial step, all the lines would be extracted, with their corresponding rectangles, text, fontname and fontsize. The extracted data is stored in
private List<TextElement> ListTextElements = new List<TextElement>();
public class TextElement
{
public int PageNumber { get; set; }
public string Text { get; set; }
public RectangleF Bounds { get; set; }
public string fontName = "Arial";
public int fontSize = 8;
public System.Drawing.FontStyle fontStyle;
public System.Drawing.Color textColor;
}
2. Mouse events are programmed in a pdfviewer control
private void pdfviewer_MouseUp(object sender, MouseButtonEventArgs e)
In this event handler it is analyzed whether the click belongs to any of the rectangles, if so it would pass the text to a TextBox for editing but with the same FontName, FontSize and length for prior evaluation to replace the original text (using redation). Having the same FontFamily, FontSize and length allows (or attempts) that the edited text does not overwrite other text. In the event that the font did not exist, a pdf font with the same FontSize would be applied. Any idea, criticism or suggestion will be welcomed.
Thank you so much
Regards,
Jesús
