Multiple annotations

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).

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

Hi  Jasper, 
 

 
The issue with " Application crashes while adding annotations programmatically " has been fixed and the patch for this fix can be downloaded from the following location.  
 
Recommended approach - exe will perform automatic configuration
 
Please find the patch setup from below location:
 
 
 
Advanced approach – use only if you have specific needs and can directly replace existing assemblies for your build environment 
Please find the patch assemblies alone from below location:
 
 
 
   
NuGet:   
   
 
Assembly Version: 17.3.0.14 
Installation Directions : 
 
This patch should replace the files “Syncfusion.SfPdfViewer.XForms.dll”and “Syncfusion.SfPdfViewer.XForms.Android.dll” under the following folder.
 
$system drive:\ Files\Syncfusion\Essential Studio\$Version # \precompiledassemblies\$Version#\4.6
 
Eg : $system drive:\Program Files\Syncfusion\Essential Studio\9.3.0.61\precompiledassemblies\9.3.0.61\4.0
 
 
To automatically run the Assembly Manager, please check the Run assembly manager
 checkbox option while installing the patch. If this option is unchecked, the patch will replace the assemblies in precompiled assemblies’ folder only. Then, you will have to manually copy and paste them to the preferred location or you will have to run the Syncfusion Assembly Manager application (available from the Syncfusion Dashboard, installed as a shortcut in the Application menu) to re-install assemblies.
