ElementGetTextString Method

Gets the text string.

Namespace: pdftron.PDF
Assembly: pdftron (in pdftron.dll) Version: 255.255.255.255

Syntax

public string GetTextString()

Public Function GetTextString As String

public:
virtual String^ GetTextString() sealed

function GetTextString();

Return Value

Type: String
a pointer to Unicode string for this text Element. The function maps Character codes to Unicode Array defined by Adobe Glyph List (http://partners.adobe.com/asn/developer/type/glyphlist.txt).

Remarks

In PDF text can be encoded using various encoding schemes and in some cases it is not possible to extract Unicode encoding. If it is not possible to map Charcode to Unicode the function will map a Character to undefined code, 0xFFFD. This code is defined in private Unicode range. If you would like to map raw text to Unicode (or some other encoding) yourself use CharIterators returned by CharBegin()/CharEnd() and PDF::Font code mapping methods. The string owner is the current element (i.e. ElementReader or ElementBuilder).
