Syntax
public class PageText : Object

PageText is the object IronPDF C# code works with for text extraction. It represents text content for a single page Contains text extracted from a single page of a PDF document.

PageText matters when an application needs to configure or invoke text extraction from C# code. The class encapsulates the related options and behavior in a single object that is set up once and reused across render or processing calls. Typical scenarios include batch generation pipelines, templated document workflows, and integration with existing C# document services.

To use PageText, instantiate or obtain it from the relevant entry point in the IronPDF C# API. Key properties include PageBounds, PageNumber, PositionedLines, Text. Assign options or invoke methods on the instance to configure or perform the operation. The draw text and bitmap covers typical usage in C# end to end.

using IronPdf;

var instance = new PageText();
var current = instance.PageBounds;
// Read or assign other properties such as PageNumber, PositionedLines

For the broader workflow, see the extract text and images guide in the IronPDF C# documentation. For broader context, the text extraction portion of the IronPDF C# API contains related types that work with PageText directly. PageText exposes additional members beyond those highlighted above; the reference tables on this page list the full set. In application code, treat PageText as a configured object that is constructed once and reused across operations rather than instantiated per call. Configuration is generally idempotent: assigning the same property value twice has the same effect as assigning it once. For diagnostic purposes, inspect the relevant PageText property after each operation to confirm the configured state. See the constructors, properties, and methods tables below for the complete API surface of PageText.
