Properties
 NameDescription
Public propertyActualText The exact text content represented by this element, used when the rendered content is not extractable as text (for example a text rendered as a graphic). Only used when TagType is set.
(Inherited from PdfPageElement)
Public propertyAlternateText Alternate text describing the element, used by assistive technology. Required for Figure elements in a tagged document. Only used when TagType is set.
(Inherited from PdfPageElement)
Public propertyArtifact Marks this element's content as a PDF artifact (decorative or non-semantic content such as background shapes, rules or repeated page furniture) in a tagged document. Artifact content is excluded from the logical structure tree. In a tagged document every element should either set TagType (real content) or set Artifact to true; this property takes precedence over TagType when both are set. Has no effect unless the owning Tagged is enabled.
(Inherited from PdfPageElement)
Public propertyBackColor Gets or sets the pdf element background color.
Public propertyBlending Gets or sets the blending mode for transparent rendering of the pdf element.
Public propertyColorSpace Gets or sets the color space for the pdf element rendering.
Public propertyForeColor Gets or sets the pdf element foreground color.
Public propertyGradient Gets or sets the gradient used to fill a shape.
Public propertyLineStyle Gets or sets the line style for pdf elements rendering lines.
Public propertyRotated A flag to indicate if the current pdf element was rotated.
Public propertyScaled A flag to indicate if the current pdf element was scaled.
Public propertySkewed A flag to indicate if the current pdf element was skewed.
Public propertyTagType The logical-structure (tagged PDF) type for this element. When set and the owning Tagged is enabled, the element's content is wrapped in a marked-content sequence and a corresponding structure element is added to the document's logical structure tree. When null (the default), the element is not tagged.
(Inherited from PdfPageElement)
Public propertyTranslated A flag to indicate if the current pdf element was translated.
Public propertyTransparency Gets or sets the pdf element transparency.
