See TextRenderInfo.getAscentLine(), .getBaseline() and getDescentLine() - those define the coordinates.
You should be aware that depending on how the PDF is generated, there may not be a single TextRenderInfo object with text 'Approving Official'. There could be one with 'Appro' and another with 'ving' and another with 'Official' (or who knows what combination). If you are in control of the PDF generation, then not a problem. If you aren't, then you'll have to do something more fancy (something similar to what LocationTextExtractionStrategy does)... It would be nice if we could expose an abstract base class that would help with this - maybe something with a callback interface that returns the rendering of each word found or something... Just noodling on ideas here, but what if we had a callback interface like this: public void begin(); public void nextWord(WordInfo); public void nextLine(LineInfo); public void end(); The trick would be figuring out what to put into the WordInfo object...
