pdfGetPageText

Purpose — Decode the currently active output page's text directly into a TPDFStack structure (a Lumas-specific convenience shape, not part of the reference ABI's normal calling pattern for this function name).

Description — Unlike pdfExtractText, this call takes no page number — it always operates on D.ActivePageIndex (the page currently open for editing) and only on output-side content; it does not fall back to an import source. Stack.Text receives the extracted Unicode text and Stack.Count the number of text-showing runs found.

Declarations

BOOL32 __stdcall pdfGetPageText(PPDF IPDF, TPDFStack* Stack);

function pdfGetPageText(const IPDF: PPDF; var Stack: TPDFStack): LongBool; stdcall; external 'LumasPdf.dll';

TPDFStack (relevant fields; see V03 for the full record used elsewhere):

TPDFStack = record
  // ...
  Text:  PWideChar;   // Lumas extension: engine-owned, valid until the next call
  Count: Cardinal;    // number of show-text runs found
end;

Parameters

Return value — TRUE on success; FALSE if no page is currently active or its content can't be read.
