I would like to put some known text in a Word doc and programmatically find it’s x,y location with respect to the document or page using .NET. Is that possible? I was looking at using the OpenXML SDK but I don’t see a path to getting that to work. Or could I use something like an image or bookmark to do this?
Ultimately I’m trying to save the Word doc as a PDF or image (using a library like Aspose) and overlay some content at that location. Any ideas are appreciated.
Based on further research and general understanding of the XML structure of the docs, it doesn’t look like this is possible. I looked at the third party components from Aspose to see if they supported it and they don’t from a Word doc, but it may be possible from a PDF. So I thought I’d post a link to that info:
