.NET Word Library - Create and Edit Ink Annotations in Word Using C#

• An ink trace is a single stroke drawn on the ink canvas.
• Each trace consists of ordered (x, y) points.
• Multiple traces = multiple strokes (like multi-stroke drawings).
• Each trace has a brush for styling:
  • Ink effects
  • Color (if supported)
  • Stroke thickness

• Trace points are simply (x,y) coordinates defining the path of the stroke.
• You can:
  • Define points manually (for shapes like a triangle).
  • Convert from mouse or touch input. Refer to the “Create ink” demo.

Yes, you can modify existing ink traces by changing colors, effects, thickness, and even the coordinate points of the strokes.

• An ink annotation is created using the “paragraph.AppendInk(width, height)” API.
• This defines a coordinate space:
  • (0,0) = top-left of ink area.
  • (width, height) = bottom-right.
• All trace points must lie within this boundary.

You can add multiple traces to a single ink object to create complex, handwritten text, signatures, or detailed drawings.

Yes, you can convert Word documents containing ink annotations to PDF using the Syncfusion .NET Word Library (DocIO). DocIO supports converting Word documents with ink content to PDF format seamlessly.
