Tilman: thanks for your answer! (https://lists.apache.org/thread.html/a6f20d16b76acbfe4c292bc2d0e7111de9173c7cd63aae330df3886a@%3Cusers.pdfbox.apache.org%3E) .
For some reason your answer didn't arrive to my e-mail account although other e-mails from [email protected] arrive ok :s . >To get a perfect bounding box for the cyan rectangle, the only thing one >could do would be to evaluate the content stream in the charproc: We will ignore the issue by now, but in case we decide to implement a solution in the future... maybe we can just create a "mock" document with the content stream, render it with PDFImageWriter.writeImage and then find the bounding box in the resulting image?

I'm using DrawPrintTextLocations.java (from http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/pdfbox/trunk/examples/src/main/java/org/apache/pdfbox/examples/util/DrawPrintTextLocations.java) to find the boxes for a character in the following pdf (a simplified version of a real life pdf): http://wikisend.com/download/727732/boxissue_type3_font.pdf but none of the boxes matches the printed character (see near the bottom of the page). This is the output that I get: http://wikisend.com/download/129910/boxissue_type3_font-marked-1.png I have noticed that some values in the font have negative values... so I don't know if the file (or font) is corrupted or there is an issue in pdfbox (or in DrawPrintTextLocations). How can I get a tightly enclosing box for the character? Esteban
