Struct pdfium_render::page_text::PdfPageText

pub struct PdfPageText<'a> { /* private fields */ }

The collection of Unicode characters visible in a single PdfPage.

Since PdfPageText implements both the ToString and the Display traits, you can use [PdfPageText::to_string()] to easily return all characters in the containing PdfPage in the order in which they are defined in the PDF file.

In complex custom layouts, the order in which characters are defined in the PDF file and the order in which they appear visually during rendering (and thus the order in which they are read by a user) may not necessarily match.

Implementations

impl<'a> PdfPageText<'a>

pub fn len(&self) -> i32

Returns the total number of characters in all text boxes in the containing PdfPage.

The character count includes whitespace and newlines, and so may differ slightly from the result of calling PdfPageText::all().len().

pub fn is_empty(&self) -> bool

Returns true if there are no characters in any text box collection in the containing PdfPage.

pub fn all(&self) -> String

Returns all characters that lie within the containing PdfPage, in the order in which they are defined in the PDF file.

In complex custom layouts, the order in which characters are defined in the PDF file and the order in which they appear visually during rendering (and thus the order in which they are read by a user) may not necessarily match.

pub fn inside_rect(&self, rect: PdfRect) -> String

Returns all characters that lie within the bounds of the given PdfRect in the containing PdfPage, in the order in which they are defined in the PDF file.

In complex custom layouts, the order in which characters are defined in the PDF file and the order in which they appear visually during rendering (and thus the order in which they are read by a user) may not necessarily match.

Trait Implementations
