Does PDFsharp support extracting shapes from a PDF file? I am looking at trying to transfer information from PDF to another application and this will involve extracting drawing elements.

Thanks.

PDFsharp does not parse the code that draws the pages.

There are third-party code samples that extract text from PDF pages. In the same way you could extract shapes.

This could be a rather simple task if you only have to deal with some shapes and if all PDF files come from an in-house application.

This could be complicated if the solution has to work with PDF files submitted by customers that are created by various applications.
