I am trying to extract specific coordinates ( pixel locations of all the checkboxes and their adjacent text from a questionnaire) from a latex generated document. I got a helpful suggestion from this forum about using the "tikzmark" command from the {tikz} package. Is it necessary while using the 'tikzmark' command to also manually define the layout by specifying the positions of the targeted elements ( checkboxes for instance )? Or do i just need to wrap the items (such as checkboxes and their adjacent text) whose coordinates i need written to the .aux file by the 'tikzmark' command?

    it's very hard to understand your question. make yourself a small test document using tikzmark (not your real problem, an example from the tikzmark manual) if you get an error post the test document and ask about the error. but basically you put tikzmark at the point that you want to save and access that loacation on the next run.
