PDFsharp & MigraDoc Foundation

I am working on a project to Import Text and Vector paths from PDFs. Does this product supports that functionality? Do you have a code sample for how to extract the text and path data rotated and transformed to the coordinate system they are viewed at in a PDF viewer along with the layer they come from?

Hi!

There is a NuGet package I haven't tried yet:
https://www.nuget.org/packages/PdfTextract/

From PDFsharp FAQ:
"Can I use PDFsharp to extract text from PDF?
This can be done at a low level. You can get at the characters in the order they are drawn - and most applications draw them from top-left to bottom-right. There are no high-level functions that return words, paragraphs, or whole pages."

How about path coordinates, transformations, rotations, and layers?

PDFsharp does not parse that stuff, so it's left as an exercise (not a simple one).

I don't know which library can parse that stuff.
Hint: Libraries that render PDF files must be able to parse such details. PDFsharp cannot render PDF and does not delve into such details.
