Hi, I know what Pdfbox is and I want to highlight a specific type of PDF file. Right now I can get the coordinates of the character, and I want to select it.
I saw from this link:
highlight text using pdfbox when it is in PDF format
which shows the steps to highlight.
My question lies with these two steps: markup.setRectangle (); markup.setQuads ();
I tried to understand Quadpoints and PDRectangles, but could not.
Actually, if I wrote the code as follows:
PDRectangle position = new PDRectangle(50,50);
markup.setRectangle(position);
float []p=new float[8];
p[0]=100;p[1]=100;p[2]=200;p[3]=100;p[4]=100;p[5]=500;p[6]=200;p[7]=500;
markup.setQuadPoints(p);
I would not get anything, but if I set LowerLeftX, LowerLeftY, UpperRightX, UpperRightY for PDRectanlge, I could get highly elastic text, but the coordinates are not what I expected.
- ? 4 Quadpoints, Rectangle? 2 ?
