Text overlay to PDF sample

Question

Here is my simple requirement. Artwork design file from Graphics Dept sending to Production Dept. It is a pdf file from Adobe AI tool and will be the source file for Essential PDF Overlay. In Production Dept, we have a web screen that allow the user to select the pdf source file and insert some descriptions into textboxes. Essential PDF Overlay will be programmed to at the descriptions into the pdf source file at the bottom of the PDF.

The Syncfusion sample is PDF overlay to PDF. My case is more like Text overlay to PDF. Is there anyone can help by providing me a simple sample for my case?

My asp.net web application is running on .net 2.0 framework in VB.net language.

Thank you for your time.

Hi Samuel,

Thank you for your interest in Syncfusion products.

You can add content to source PDF document using the following
code snippet:

' Write description.

loadedPage.Graphics.DrawString(description,
font, blackBrush, New RectangleF(location,
size))

The location and size of the text should be known in prior to
get the expected result. I had placed a simple sample demonstrating this in the
following link:

TextOverlaySample.zip

The following assemblies should be added as reference for
running the application:

Syncfusion.Compression.Base

Syncfusion.Core

Syncfusion.Pdf.Base

Could you please check this sample and let me know if you need
more details?

Regards
