Track Word Wrapping and Line Breaking while Editing PDF Documents

In earlier version(s) of the API, support for identifying points/position was provided in which an “Enter” was added/pressed to create a line break. Logging and background processing of multi-line text fragments in text adding scenarios were implemented by introducing GetNotifications() method in Page Class. Also, it was promised that this feature would be improved in future releases of the API. Thus, tracking of word wrapping and line breaking is further improved and implemented in the latest release of the API.

Following code snippet shows a demonstration on how you can use this feature in your .NET Applications:

TextFragmentAbsorber textFragmentAbsorber = <br>new TextFragmentAbsorber("[Cname,companyname,Textbox,50]");
textFragmentAbsorber.TextReplaceOptions.ReplaceAdjustmentAction =
    TextReplaceOptions.ReplaceAdjustment.WholeWordsHyphenation;

Document doc = new Document("29224.pdf");
doc.Pages.Accept(textFragmentAbsorber);

foreach (TextFragment textFragment in textFragmentAbsorber.TextFragments)
{
    textFragment.Text = "This is a Lerger String to Testing of this issue";
}

string notifications1 = doc.Pages[1].GetNotifications();
File.WriteAllText("editing_notifications_sample_1.txt", notifications1);
