JavaScript can return the rect object defining the region occupied by certain types of object, such as annotations and words on a page. You should look through the Acrobat SDK documentation for help in the first instance, as we don't know what type of objects you're looking for.

PDF version is 1.6. Trying to determine location of bar code in lower right of image. Selecting the bottom of the bar code, is possible, but don't see how to get coordinates.

Is the barcode a form field or an image object?
