Eraser for Drawings in PDFs

Question

Hi!I am using the trial and implemented a test application with the PdfViewer Component.One of the main features of the final application will be drawing small sketches into PDF files. But I am missing a simple eraser tool, like in the comment and markup tools in Adobe Reader (or paint).Is there a "pixel based" eraser tool for already stored and fresh drawings? Or will it be implemented in the near future?My client is not willing to accept just the option for deleting lines.Best regards,Markus

Hi Markus, 

Thanks for contacting Syncfusion support. 

At present we do not have support to “Erase the free hand drawings” in WPF PDF viewer. We have logged a feature request for this and 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, this feature is expected to be implemented in our 2020 Volume 4 main release. We will let you know when this feature is implemented. You can track the status of the implementation from below link,

Disclaimer: The date for the feature implementation is tentative and not a commitment on our parts.
