Hi
Gustavo,


Thank you for your interest in Aspose.Words.

Please note that MS Word document is a flow document and it does not contain any information about its layout into lines and pages. Our Rendering Engine layouts documents into lines and pages and internally it is possible to determine position (x-y coordinates) of a particular node. But unfortunately, there is no public API, which allows you to determine where the MergeField is located. So, there is no way to find the position of the particular node on page.

Your request has been linked to the appropriate new feature (WORDSNET-2978) in our issue tracking system and you will be notified as soon as it is supported. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Best Regards,

Thank you very much for your answer.

But, is it possible to convert to PDF and then map the fields by variables or text?

Thanks for the support.

Hello,
we use the Aspose.DOC MergeField to map them and we put signatures.

But I need to get through these coordinates MergeField, but as you can not do that with the DOC, then I wonder if you can do this with the PDF, it's possible to capture words or sentences in PDF with Aspose.PDF?

Thank for help.

Hi Gustavo,

Thanks for sharing the details.

As per my understanding, you need to search particular text string inside PDF document and get the position of that string. If so is the case, then I am pleased to share that this feature can be accomplished using Aspose.Pdf for .NET. Please visit the following links for further details on


In case I have not properly understood your requirement, please share some more details along with some sample resource files.
