These are either images or they are vectors. They CANNOT be both. You also mark text. This is not image, nor vector. Text is a different kind of thing. The PDFEdit calls in a C++ plug-in can be used to get all the data including

- graphics transformation matrixes (which define position and scale)

- starting position for text run, and characters included

- bezier curves for vectors

You would iterate through all the graphical objects on a page. You see ALL the objects on the page, so you have to write code to pick out the relevant objects, and get their properties. This is not a task for a beginner with C++, or a beginner with the API, or the a beginner with computer graphics. I recommend reading the "text" and "graphics" chapters from the PDF Reference; these few hundred pages of documentation are really necessary preparation for working with the PDFEdit API.
