I have a question about the coordinate system orientation for text. Using PrintTextLocations and the ExtractTextByArea example, I have observed that the coordinate system for the position of the text has the Y coordinate running down the page.
I was surprised by this because ExtractImageLocations reports images with the origin being at the lower left. My quick browsing of the pdf spec at http://www.adobe.com/devnet/acrobat/pdfs/PDF32000_2008.pdf shows examples of text with the origin being defined from the lower left corner of the page. I tried it on multiple .pdf documents from different sources to ensure that there wasn't something strange with my .pdf files. I didn't find any discussion of this in the email archives. Any comments or explanation about why the Y coordinate system runs down the page would be helpful. Thanks, Michael
