Research direction

Start by tracing how the sample JSON fields x, y, w, sw, clr, A, and R are produced during PDF conversion. Determine which units and coordinate meanings are currently defined, then document the available position and size values, including whether a top value exists; the issue is complete when these behaviors are clearly explained.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

So a typical text line has:

{
  x: 4.453,
  y: 23.642,
  w: 1.06,
  sw: 0.32553125,
  clr: 0,
  A: 'left',
  R: [ { T: '%5B%20%5D%20', S: -1, TS: [Array] } ]
}

In what units are those values as I need it to be in pixels, also which values are the left (how far from left hand side), width and height values. Also I would need a top values so how far it's from the top of the page as I will need to insert a signature, how can I do that?
