PDF XChange Forum

Hello!

In our product we need to search each page in the document for a document id. This id is located in the footer of the pages.

The information I need to return is the id itself and the page number it is on. This should be able to be stored in a list.

I have read about op.serach and IPXC_PageText, but I'm not sure which is best suited for the task

What would be the best way to achieve this?

Hello Ronny,

I think using the IPXC_PageText would be optimal in this case. If you know the location of the text that you require, you can use the https://sdkhelp.pdf-xchange.com/vi ... t_LineInfo to get the text lines starting from the bottom. The https://sdkhelp.pdf-xchange.com/vi ... xtLineInfo structure contains the first char index and line character count that you can use with the https://sdkhelp.pdf-xchange.com/vi ... eText_Char property to get each character in the line and form a string from them. Then you can analyze your string for the text you need and you should get your desired result.

Cheers,
Alex

Great, thank you, that got me on the right track
