Add Textbox, drawing, and/or highlighting

Has anyone done a Flutter demo allowing adding textbox, drawing, and/or highlight live on a pdfviewer?

1) I'd like the user to be able to drag a textbox across the pdf viewer and then save it.

2) I'd like the user to be able to draw with a pen across the pdf viewer and then save it.

3) I'd like the user to be able to highlight a part of the pdf viewer and then save it.

I found 

https://help.syncfusion.com/flutter/pdf/working-with-text

But it's complicated to find the position of the mouseclick or tap to place the text and then load it live in the viewer.

Hi Seth, 
  
Greetings from Syncfusion. 
  
At present, Syncfusion Flutter PdfViewer doesn't provide support for adding textbox, drawing and highlighting in PdfViewer. As a workaround, we can add a annotation with help of getSelectedTextLines API which is explained in the following link. 
 
We are analyzing the feasibility of the requested features and will update the further details on 17 June 2021.

Hi Seth, 
  
At present we do not have support for shape, text markup and ink annotations in Flutter SfPdfViewer. 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. We will let you know when this feature is implemented. The status of these features can be tracked using the following link.
