Search and get text from PDF document using Aspose.PDF - return the coordinates of the text on the PDF (x,y)

Aspose.PDF Product Family

Hello,

I am looking into Aspose to see if it is possible to search for a text string, using a regular expression or straight text, in a PDF document and check where the info is on the document?
We require that the x,y coordinates are accurate. If we are able to get the exact rectangle points around the text would be ideal. This is important to us as we want to use it to redact out sensitive information.
Is this possible using Aspose libraries?
