Remarks
We recommend using the following API for these types of apps:
Use the RenderToStreamAsync method if your UWP app:
- Uses JavaScript and HTML.
- Uses C# and Extensible Application Markup Language (XAML), and you're not comfortable writing an interop layer over the corresponding Component Object Model (COM) API RenderPageToSurface or RenderPageToDeviceContext by using C++.
Use the corresponding Component Object Model (COM) API RenderPageToSurface or RenderPageToDeviceContext if your UWP app:
- Uses C++ and XAML.
- Uses C++ and Microsoft DirectX.
- Uses C# and XAML, and you are comfortable writing an interop layer over these corresponding Component Object Model (COM) API by using C++.
- Needs to support a zoom factor of greater than 400%.

I've just started looking into Apache's PdfBox for exactly this purpose. It looks like one of their examples, PrintTextLocations.java, is a good starting point for what you're after.
Check out any of these:
