How to include popup annotation in PDF document using WPF PDFViewer?

1 min read

Currently, WPF PDFViewer control does not have support for including the pop-up annotation. However, the following workaround has the support for the same action in WPF.

 //Create a new popup annotation
 PdfPopupAnnotation popupAnnotation = new PdfPopupAnnotation(bounds, textBox.Text);
 
 // Set the location
 popupAnnotation.Location =new System.Drawing.PointF(Point.X, Point.Y);
 
 // Set the properties
 popupAnnotation.Border.Width = 4;
 
 //Set the pdf popup icon
 popupAnnotation.Icon = PdfPopupIcon.Note;
 
 //Add this annotation to a new page
 ldoc.Pages[currentPageIndex].Annotations.Add(popupAnnotation);
