I have a lot of PDFs and I'm looking for a way to just identify what items are in them, such as the number of text blocks, forms, images, etc. Just a list of the elements so we can determine what PDFs to look at further. Is there a method to determine the actual elements in PDFs using PDFSharp? I'm using Powershell to scan the documents. These are the methods we were trying but they do not appear to give much detail.

Code:
$input.Internals.Catalog.Elements
$input.Contents.Elements
$input.Info.Elements

Not many details in your question.
On SO you mention Sitecore, but do not provide other details there either.

Where does "$input" come from?

We tried the writing out the elements in the above post and did not see a way to get the actual elements.


$input comes from the following code.

$input = [PdfSharp.Pdf.IO.PdfReader]::Open($stream, [PdfSharp.Pdf.IO.PdfDocumentOpenMode]::ReadOnly)

There are no text block objects. Text is part of the page contents.

Here is a C# sample that searches for images and exports JPEG images:

There are samples for extracting text on this forum and elsewhere on the Internet.

I hope this helps to get you started.
