get font for selected text

[Heinz4711]

Hello,

In a PDF I can find and highlight selected text like so:

Code: Select all

foreach (PdfPageBase page in pdf.Pages)
{
    result = page.FindText("Youth").Finds;
    foreach (PdfTextFind find in result)
    {
        find.ApplyHighLight();
    }
}

But how can I find what font and fontsize is used in the selected text (in this example for text "Youth" ) ?
So something like "find.Font" which will give me "Arial 12" or simlar ?

Thank you

Hello,

Thanks for your inquiry.
Sorry to tell your that Spire.PDF doesn't support getting the font information for selected text at present. If this can be achieved in the future, I will let you know.

Hi,

Thank you for your patience.

I'm glad to inform you that our Spire.PDF has supported retrieving font formatting of found text. Note: Only supports retrieving bold, faux bold (font style set to fill and stroke), italic, and color; does not support retrieving underline.
