Get path geometry from FlowDocument object

Can someone tell me how to get path geometry from a WPF FlowDocument object? Please not that I do not want to use FormattedText. Thanks.

From stackoverflow

• Can you use

  ChildVisual = VisualTreeHelper.GetChild(Visual yourVisual)

  Dunno if you can take a Visual and turn it into a path geometry..

• Get the Text property of a TextRange object initialized over the entire FlowDocument:

  FlowDocument myFlowDocument = new FlowDocument();  //get your FlowDocument
  
  //put in some (or it already has) text
  string inText = "Hello, WPF World!";
  TextRange tr = new TextRange(FlowDocument.ContentStart, FlowDocument.ContentEnd);
  tr.Text = inText;
  
  //get the current text out of the FlowDocument
  TextRange trPrime = new TextRange(FlowDocument.ContentStart, FlowDocument.ContentEnd);
  string outText = trPrime.Text;
  
  //now outText == "Hello, WPF World!";
  
  //to get formatting, looks like you would use myFlowDocument.TextEffects
  

  Dmitri Nesteruk : This doesn't seem to be exactly what we're after. I'd like Path information, not just text. I'm not interested in using FormattedText as a converter.

• A FlowDocument can be viewed in any number of ways, but a Path is a fixed shape. I think maybe you really want some simplified, visual-only form of a FlowDocument's contents.

  In that case you might try converting the FlowDocument to an XPS FixedDocument - the FixedPages have Canvases containing a bunch of Paths and Glyphs.
