[XeTeX] Help in Tex and PDF Positions

[Francisco Chaves]

Hi Pete

Thank you for your response.  Actually I need not only the dimensions but
the position of the box in the page, in order to put the signature field in
the pdf file. is it possible to know and print the box position in a page
using LaTeX?

Thanks in advance
     Francisco
