Remarks
In a few words, TextFragment object contains list of TextSegment objects.
In details:
Text of pdf document in Aspose.Pdf is represented by two basic objects: TextFragment and TextSegment
The differences between them is mostly context-dependent.
Let's consider following scenario. User searches text "hello world" to operate with it, change it's properties, look etc.
Phisycally pdf text's representation is very complex.
The text "hello world" may consist of several phisycally independent text segments.
The Aspose.Pdf text model basically establishes that TextFragment object
provides single logic operation set over physical TextSegment objects set that represent user's query.
In text search scenario, TextFragment is logical "hello world" text representation,
and TextSegment object collection represents all physical segments that construct "hello world" text object.
So, TextFragment is close to logical text representation.
And TextSegment is close to physical text representation.
Obviously each TextSegment object may have it's own font, coloring, positioning properties.
TextFragment provides simple way to change text with it's properties: set font, set font size, set font color etc.
Meanwhile TextSegment objects are accessible and users are able to operate with TextSegment objects independently.
Note that changing TextFragment properties may change inner Segments collection because TextFragment is an aggregate object
and it may rearrange internal segments or merge them into single segment.
If your requirement is to leave the Segments collection unchanged, please change inner segments individually.
C#
Document doc = new Document(docFile); TextFragmentAbsorber absorber = new TextFragmentAbsorber("hello world"); doc.Pages[1].Accept(absorber);
Examples
The example demonstrates how to find text on the first PDF document page and replace the text and it's font.
C#
// Open document Document doc = new Document(@"D:\Tests\input.pdf"); // Find font that will be used to change document text font Aspose.Pdf.Txt.Font font = FontRepository.FindFont("Arial"); // Create TextFragmentAbsorber object to find all "hello world" text occurrences TextFragmentAbsorber absorber = new TextFragmentAbsorber("hello world"); // Accept the absorber for first page doc.Pages[1].Accept(absorber); // Change text and font of the first text occurrence absorber.TextFragments[1].Text = "hi world"; absorber.TextFragments[1].TextState.Font = font; // Save document doc.Save(@"D:\Tests\output.pdf");
