Hi Gilad,

sorry for the late answer ....

I'm not sure what you're expecting. You are using 2 totally different appro=
aches
to process a pdf. PrintTextLocations provides a lot of additional informati=
on
for every piece of text, which may vary from one character up to whole word=
s or
lines of text. Consequently the output has to be totally different and of c=
ourse
much bigger than the output of a simple text extraction.

Andreas
