Dear All,

is it possible to get the complete representation of the layout that is processed in the luatex PDF generator?

I mean coordinations of individual text boxes, their dimensions etc.

In e.g. XSL-FO processors it is provided in the XML based formats:

http://www.renderx.com/reference.html#IntermediateFormatSpecification http://xmlgraphics.apache.org/fop/1.1/intermediate.html

Actually, I'd like to retrieve the page number and vertical position of my object with a specific id (reference) to be able to perform PDF post-processing.

Is DVI way to go? How can I get it in MkIV?
