PDFObject Structure

Summary
Contains information of a single PDF object.
Syntax
C#
C++/CLI
Java
Python
[SerializableAttribute()] 
public struct PDFObject 
public class PDFObject 
[SerializableAttribute()] 
public value class PDFObject : public System.ValueType  
class PDFObject: 
Remarks

The PDFObject structure contains information of a single PDF text item (character), rectangle or image. To read objects from a PDF file, use the PDFDocument.ParsePages method. After this method returns and depending on the value of PDFParsePagesOptions parameter passed to the method, the PDFDocumentPage.Objects, PDFDocumentPage.Annotations, PDFDocumentPage.FormFields, PDFDocumentPage.Signatures and PDFDocumentPage.Hyperlinks collections will be populated with the items of the PDF page.

Example

This example will read all the objects from a PDF page and then re-draw these objects on an image that closely resembles the original PDF page before saving it to disk. You can use this example as a base for drawing a PDF page as a "vector" drawing.
