PDF Manipulation

Question

Good day,I have a couple of questions that I have not been able to figure out from the online documentation.1) I am trying to change text in an existing pdf doc but I cannot seem to find the location of the text that I need to change. I tried the "FindText" function but I am unable to read anything on that other than True / False. So, how do I find the locatin of that text (or TextBox, which is how it is displayed in InfixPDF editor)?2) Is there any way to export / convert an existing PDF document to Word, Excel, and XPS?Thank you!

Hi Travis, 

We do not have support for editing the existing text in the PDF document. For getting the bounds of the text you can use the out textSearch available in the FindText method. Please refer the below link.
https://help.syncfusion.com/file-formats/pdf/working-with-text#search-and-get-the-bounds-of-a-text-in-a-document 
bool IsMatchFound = documentViewer.FindText("hello", out textSearch); 
 
For modifying the TextBox in the PDF document refer the below link.

Please find below the possible conversion support in Syncfusion File formats.
