Meziantou.FrameworkPdfTextLayout Class
The text of a page with the position of its lines, words and glyphs (see PdfPage.ExtractTextLayout).
public sealed class PdfTextLayoutRemarks
By default, the lines are in the order of the content, not in a reading order: a new line starts where a glyph leaves the baseline of the previous one, goes back, or changes direction. With PdfTextReadingOrder.Layout, the lines are split at the wide gaps, grouped into blocks at the blank spaces of the page (columns, paragraphs), and ordered by their position.
