How do you use IPdfTextObjectCollection in C# code?

Accept IPdfTextObjectCollection as a parameter or return type in C# code that needs to work uniformly across IronPDF implementors. The interface defines the contract; concrete behavior is provided by the implementor returned at runtime.

What is the difference between IPdfTextObjectCollection and a concrete implementor?

IPdfTextObjectCollection is the interface contract; its concrete implementors carry the actual behavior. Reference IPdfTextObjectCollection when writing code that should work across multiple implementors; use a concrete type when a single implementor's behavior is required.

Where does IPdfTextObjectCollection live in the IronPDF API?

IPdfTextObjectCollection is in the IronSoftware namespace, shipped in IronPdf.dll. It extends IDocumentTextObjectCollection . Concrete classes such as TextObjectCollection implement it.

Q: What implements IPdfTextObjectCollection in IronPDF?

Concrete implementors of IPdfTextObjectCollection in IronPDF include TextObjectCollection. Code that accepts IPdfTextObjectCollection works uniformly across all implementors, with a cast to the concrete type only required when type-specific behavior is needed.

Collection of PDF text objects

Namespace: IronSoftware

Assembly: IronPdf.dll

Syntax

public interface IPdfTextObjectCollection

IPdfTextObjectCollection is the contract IronPDF C# code works through for Iron Software API. It represents collection of PDF text objects, so code can work with Iron Software API uniformly across implementors rather than binding to a concrete type.

Concrete implementors include TextObjectCollection, IronPDF concrete implementor. Code that accepts IPdfTextObjectCollection works uniformly across these implementors, so applications can read or configure C# PDF features without binding to a specific concrete type.

Most of the usable surface is inherited. The members that carry everyday use of this contract are the IPdfTextObjectCollection contract members, the IPdfTextObjectCollection contract members; consult these first when implementing or consuming IPdfTextObjectCollection. The draw text and bitmap walks through typical use in the IronPDF C# documentation.

using IronPdf;

// IPdfTextObjectCollection is consumed as the API surface for the family of implementors
void Consume(IPdfTextObjectCollection target)
{
    // Use members defined on the interface; concrete behavior follows the implementor
}

For collection-wide operations and end-to-end examples, see the IronPDF C# documentation for related guides. For collection-wide operations on IPdfTextObjectCollection instances, the IronPDF C# documentation lists the relevant container types and their methods. Concrete behavior depends on which implementor of IPdfTextObjectCollection is returned at runtime; consult the specific class reference for type-specific members. Polymorphic access through IPdfTextObjectCollection lets code work uniformly across the family of implementors, with a cast required only when type-specific behavior is needed. The reference tables below list the full set of members defined on IPdfTextObjectCollection along with any inherited members exposed through the contract. In a typical IronPDF C# workflow, IPdfTextObjectCollection appears as a parameter or return type at the boundary between the application and the IronPDF API. See the methods table below for the complete set of members defined directly on IPdfTextObjectCollection. Implementing IPdfTextObjectCollection directly in application code is uncommon; the typical pattern is to consume instances returned from the IronPDF API.
