Text Replacing - Stacked Letters

Hi,

I have a text based PDF and I am trying to replace a word such as "aaa" with a longer word, for instance "eeeeeeeee". Doing this, the longer text goes over the next word (letters are stacked) although the expected behaviour would be the next word to shift to right.

I know that PDF is not that easy to shift text like this; but I hope you guys have a suggestion for handling this kind of replacement.

PS: The issue does not occur if all words do have the exact same format; but if even a little formatting difference exist, than the problem shows up.

Attached is a screenshot of the problem we are having.

Please advise.

Thanks.

Hi Alp,


Thanks for using our products.

I have tested the scenario using Aspose.Pdf for .NET 7.7.0 while using one of my sample PDF file and I am unable to notice any issue. After the string is replaced, the next string is being moved to right. Can you please share the source/sample file so that we can test the scenario at our end. We are sorry for this inconvenience.

Hi,

I am also using version 7.7.

Attached is the input file I use for this test case and below is the code to replace:

Aspose.Pdf.Text.TextFragmentAbsorber textFragmentAbsorber = new Aspose.Pdf.Text.TextFragmentAbsorber("˗˗˗˗˗˗");
aspose_pdf.Pages.Accept(textFragmentAbsorber);
Aspose.Pdf.Text.TextFragmentCollection textFragmentCollection = textFragmentAbsorber.TextFragments;
foreach (Aspose.Pdf.Text.TextFragment textFragment in textFragmentCollection)
{
textFragment.Text = "443211789";
}

textFragmentAbsorber = new Aspose.Pdf.Text.TextFragmentAbsorber("˗˗˗˗˗");
aspose_pdf.Pages.Accept(textFragmentAbsorber);
textFragmentCollection = textFragmentAbsorber.TextFragments;
foreach (Aspose.Pdf.Text.TextFragment textFragment in textFragmentCollection)
{
textFragment.Text = "11/03/2013";
}

Thanks.
