How to retrieve rectangle bounds for Shape element in the PDF document

Hi,

I have attached a PDF document "Shape.pdf" which contains a Shape element. This PDF document is originally converted from the Word document "Shape.docx" (attached) into PDF using Microsoft Word Application.

 

For our project, we need the ability to retrieve rectangle bounds for the Shape present in the attached PDF document "Shape.pdf". This shape is not recognized as image object (PDImageXObject). Looks like it is embedded in the content stream.

 

Appreciate if you can help me with a sample code in retrieving rectangle bounds for the shape present in the attached PDF document.

 

Thanks,

-Satya

Hi Tilman,
Thanks much for looking into this.

Uploaded the "Shape.pdf" at the following location.
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1VZVJ37eProWngHBUZIArc7cFJcvtORAT/view

This is not one time, we need to a generic solution for any such file.

Can you please check this PDF document available at above location and let me know on the solution.

Thanks
-Satya

Hi,

The PDF attachment didn't get through. Please upload it somewhere. I'm 
reluctant to open a word file.

If the shape is vector graphics then there is no easy method. If this is 
a one time only, then open the file with PDFDebugger command line app 
and move the mouse around and look at the coordinates shown in the corner.
