It's the same issue, use iTextSharp to read the information from the PDF.

hi richard,
but i dont have the coordinates saved of the rectangle drawn. actually the drawing of the rectangle is done by vendor. And on that rectangle based i have to identify the rectangle coordinates and so is the inner text and coordinates of the rectangle

Sorry, no idea. If the information is not availalbel then I don't see what you can do.

Commiserating with "PDF" tag might be "SVG" ... Look up WPF and Canvas and at MSDN, at their code sample library type in some of these as parameters for a filter of what's available. XML/XAML is in your future. Perhaps.

In which case, coordinates are exactly what they should be.
