Thanks to Delbeke who has released v6.04.1 which brings improvements to the GetPageText function.

• The source codes are available [here] (password required)
  
• The DLL is available [here]
• The ActiveX is available [here]

List of Changes

• Improved Function "getpagetext" as follows:
• Unit uPDFTextFunnel.pas: Added test to see if the base line is identical => and (P1.DY = P2.DY). If not ok, should not be on the same line
• Unit uPDFTextFunnel.pas: Added close approximation calculations for text where the font does not return ascent and descent height information.
• Unit uPDFFontRasterizer.pas: Added test for 'MMType1' (which very similar to the 'Type1')

Known Bugs

• Thereis a bug in GetPageText whereby the font descriptor for some fonts isnow found by the iSed code. This bug exists in older versions of thelibrary as well
• Another bug where the size of the ascent anddescent is not returned, making it impossible to find the size of therectangle around the text. For now, workaround code has been added thatapproximates those sizes based on the overall size of the font.
• Delbekehas created a VB6 project with some help from Marian that tests rendersthe PDF pages and tests the GetPageText function. This is available fordownload from [here]. This project only makes reference to Ised.dll, and requires no other components.
