◆ getBaselineRotation()

int com.foxit.sdk.pdf.TextPage.getBaselineRotation ( int  rect_index) throws com.foxit.sdk.PDFException

Get the text trend (as rotation) of a specified rectangle.

Parameters
[in]rect_indexThe index of the rectangle to be retrieved. Valid range: from 0 to (count -1). count is returned by function TextPage.getTextRectCount .
Returns
Text trend, as rotation value. Please refer to values starting from com.foxit.sdk.common.Constants.e_Rotation0 and this would be one of these values.

◆ getCharCount()

int com.foxit.sdk.pdf.TextPage.getCharCount ( ) throws com.foxit.sdk.PDFException

Get the count of all the characters.

Returns
Count of characters.

◆ getChars()

String com.foxit.sdk.pdf.TextPage.getChars ( int  start,
int  count 
) throws com.foxit.sdk.PDFException

Get all the characters within a range specified by a start index and count.

Parameters
[in]startIndex of start character, which is the first character of the expected text content. Valid range: from 0 to (charcount -1). charcount is returned by function TextPage.getCharCount . Default value: 0.
[in]countCount of characters to be retrieved. -1 means to get the whole characters from start_index to the end of PDF page. Especially, when parameter count is larger than (charcount - start), all the rest character (from start_index) will be retrieved. charcount is returned by function TextPage.getCharCount . Default value: -1.
Returns
