Multiple annotations

[Jasper]

Hi,

Is it possible to add annotations from code, because I can't find any method supporting this.

There are methods for removing and editing. 

I tried to work around this by manipulating the PDF and adding the annotations to the file before loading it in the viewer.

This works when I keep to a single type of annotations, when there are multiple annotations the app crashes with the following exception:

System.InvalidOperationException

  Message=Collection was modified; enumeration operation may not execute.

Attached is a small example that shows the exception (press the "Load PDF' button).

1	Is it possible to add annotations from code, because I can't find any method supporting this.	At present we do not have support to “Add all annotations programmatically”. We do not have any immediate plans to implement this feature. At the planning stage for every release cycle, we review all open features and identify features for implementation based on specific parameters including product vision, technological feasibility, and customer interest.     Based on our present commitments and the above parameters, this feature is expected to be implemented in our 2020 Volume 1 main release. We will let you know when this feature is implemented.     Disclaimer: The date for the feature implementation is tentative and not a commitment on our parts.    You can track the status of feature through below feedback link    https://www.syncfusion.com/feedback/9235/support-to-add-annotations-programmatically

We are able to reproduce the issue “Application crashes while adding annotations in PDF document” in our side. We have forwarded this issue to our development team for further analysis and we will update further details on 28th November 2019.
