Read automatically text area PDf without mouse selection

[jsw]

Hi,
How can I automatically read the text of a PDF area without selecting the rectangle with the mouse?
How can I create automatically rectangle into GDViewer?
Fine Thanks

Hello,

I'm not sure to understand what you mean by "automatically" but if the goal is to extract text from a specific PDF document area without letting the user select it, then you should use the GetPageTextArea method.
It is documented here: https://www.gdpicture.com/guides/gdpicture/web ... tArea.html

You can also programmatically set a rectangle of selection wherever you need to by using the dedicated methods that are SetRectCoordinatesOnDocument, SetRectCoordinatesOnDocumentInches and SetRectCoordinatesOnViewer.
Here is the relevant documentation:
