Parsing highlighted text issues

Aspose.PDF Product Family
#1
Hello Team,


We are unable to capture the correct quadrilateral points of highlighted text when tagged content is:


· From multi column – it seems like the highlighted is not captured in the correct sequence


· Does not have enough line spacing: it seems like highlights are overlapping, the words in the previous line will also be within the bounds of the next line. This is resulting in duplicates.


Please see attachment for screenshots.

Hi Ismail,


Thanks for sharing your sample code. But I am afraid I am unable to test your code as it has some missing references e.g PDFTag namespace, AddExtractedTag() method. I will appreciate it if you please share a sample working console project, so we will test the scenario and will guide you accordingly.

We are sorry for the inconvenience.

Best Regards,

I didn’t think you wanted a completely working code( you had asked for sample code). I will get simple console app together and send it to you by tomorrow

Hi Ismail,

I have found some issues in how the code was implemented by our offshore team that resulted in duplicated highlighted text. I have solved that issue but I am running into another issue where I am not able to extract just the highlighted text within a given line. Please see code below to see implementation... I was not able to upload the console app


using Aspose.Pdf;
using Aspose.Pdf.Annotations;
using Aspose.Pdf.Text;
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Configuration;
using System.IO;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Threading.Tasks;

namespace PDFParser
{
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
Aspose.Pdf.License license = new Aspose.Pdf.License();
license.SetLicense("Aspose.Pdf.lic");

// Open document
string pdfPath = "20 pages 20 tags perf testing.pdf";
Document pdfDocument = new Document(pdfPath);
Console.WriteLine("Reading " + pdfPath);

foreach(Page page in pdfDocument.Pages)
{
foreach (Annotation annotation in page.Annotations)
{
if (annotation.AnnotationType == AnnotationType.Highlight)
{
HighlightAnnotation linkAnno = (HighlightAnnotation)annotation;
Aspose.Pdf.Rectangle rect = linkAnno.Rect;

TextAbsorber absorber = new TextAbsorber();
absorber.TextSearchOptions.LimitToPageBounds = true;
absorber.TextSearchOptions.Rectangle = rect;

page.Accept(absorber);

//this is not limiting to only highlighted text
//It is there a way to ignore words that are not highlighted?
//Please look at the first highlighted text in the sample pdf used here
//It should stop at "setting."
string extractedText = absorber.Text;
}
}
Console.WriteLine(".....");
}
}
}
}

We will appreciate it if you please share your source document “20 pages 20 tags perf testing.pdf”, it will help us to replicate your issue and address it exactly.
