question about how to approach bonding box problem

[klebs6-x]

My PDF's have a lot of math, symbols, figures, etc.

is there any way you know of to extract text from a page but only within one of several bounding boxes?

I basically want to set up a feedback loop where I:

1. iterate through the pages of the pdf
2. set ordered bounding boxes visually on each page
3. automatically extract and concatenate text from these bounding boxes, in their indicated order (from step 2)

Is this doable? is there a simple way to do this? what do you think?

As far as I am aware, not for now if you use this Python wrapper. Nevertheless, if #111 is available, you should be able to implement such a functionality yourself using the bounding boxes of each word.
