Hello OL-Team,

how should i use GetXYML() to get the Text with X/Y Position? I did not find an example.

Would be nice, if someone can share a running example in javascipt.

Unless I am mistaken, the GetXYML Alambic API function retrieve the whole PDF text, not that of a specific position.

Found out for myself:
but thanks anyway!

var objPDF = Watch.GetPDFEditObject();
objPDF.Open(Watch.GetJobFileName(), false);

var objPages = objPDF.Pages();
var objPage = null;
var content = objPDF.GetXYML()
saveToFileUtf8(content,"c://test.xml");

objPage=null;
objPages=null;
CollectGarbage();
objPDF.Close();

/**
* Save the string "content" in a file named "filename" using the UTF-8 text encoding.
*/
function saveToFileUtf8(content, filename) {
var stream = new ActiveXObject("ADODB.Stream");
try {
    stream.Type = 2;
    stream.CharSet = "utf-8";
    stream.Open();
    stream.writeText(content);
    stream.saveToFile(filename, 2);
} finally {
    stream.Close();
}
}
