Class LineTextObject

Represents a single line of text within a PDF page, combining multiple text chunks. Provides access to line content, bounding box, and positioning information.

Lines are derived from TextChunks by grouping text objects that appear on the same visual line based on their vertical position.

Example - Extract lines from a page:

var pdf = PdfDocument.FromFile("document.pdf");
var page = pdf.Pages[0] as PdfPage;

foreach (var line in page.Lines)
{
Console.WriteLine($"Line: {line.Contents}");
Console.WriteLine($"Position: ({line.BoundingBox.Left}, {line.BoundingBox.Top})");
}
