Text X positions Incorrect

[Dayne Mentier]

The document I am working is a 11.5 x 16 PDF document. The height I get back from pdf2json is 51.75, which when examining the Text's locations (x,y), and assuming that they also are represented as page units (PU), the y seems to be correct. However, the x seems to be off for elements located on the right half of the document. For instance, I placed text ("BottomRight") in the bottom right and got back the following coordinates: { x: 193.45312500000003, y: 50.918749999999996 }. Seeing that the document is 11.5 x 16, and the PU for the height are 51.75, this would technically make the width 74.25 PU. How is it possible that a text can have a position of 193.45..., with a max PU of 74.25?

Just found that it fixed itself, when I changed the following in lib/pdfunit.js line 12:

var gridXPerInch = 4.0; (11.0) * why was this at 11 and not 4?
var gridYPerInch = 4.0;

fixed in v1.0.8
