ExtractText with position

[Michal Saman]

Hi,

I was trying to use your PDF library to extract a text from a document. I'm also interested in a position of text within the document. If I understand your documentation correctly this code should print out the number of lines in a document. It is however not working for me (printing out 0, or incorrect number of lines). Could you please look into it?

public void ExtractTextTest(PdfLoadedDocument doc)
{
    for (int pageIndex = 0; pageIndex < doc.PageCount; pageIndex++)
    {
        var lines = new TextLineCollection();

        var page = doc.Pages[pageIndex];
        string text = page.ExtractText(true);
        page.ExtractText(out lines);
        
        Console.WriteLine($"Lines count: {lines.TextLine.Count}");
    }
}

I have also attached a PDF which I use for testing.

Thanks in advance
