Modify annotations and export it to another PDF document
To modify annotations, iterate through the annotations present in the PdfLoadedPage and then modify the Annotation properties (Color, Border, Border style etc..) for the respective annotation type. To export into another PdfDocument, merge the PdfLoadedDocument with PdfDocument and then save it.
Assemblies Required
1)Syncfusion.Compression.Base.dll
2)Syncfusion.Pdf.Base.dll
The below code illustrates how to modify annotation and export into another PDF.
Code Snippet:
//Load the document
PdfLoadedDocument doc = new PdfLoadedDocument(“annot.pdf");
//Set the color
PdfColor color = new PdfColor(Color.Green);
//iterate through the loaded pages
foreach (PdfLoadedPage page in doc.Pages)
{
//iterate through the annotations present in respective page
foreach (var markup in page.Annotations)
{
//Check it is PdfLoadedInkAnnotation
if (markup.GetType() == typeof(PdfLoadedInkAnnotation))
{
//Load the specified annotaion
PdfLoadedInkAnnotation thisNotation = (PdfLoadedInkAnnotation)markup;
//Modifying annotation color
thisNotation.Color = color;
}
//Checks it is PdfLoadedLineAnnotation
if (markup.GetType() == typeof(PdfLoadedLineAnnotation))
{
//Load the specified annotaion
PdfLoadedLineAnnotation thisNotation = (PdfLoadedLineAnnotation)markup;
//Modifying annotation color
thisNotation.Color = color;
}
//Checks it is PdfLoadedTextMarkupAnnotation
if (markup.GetType() == typeof(PdfLoadedTextMarkupAnnotation))
{
//Load the specified annotaion
PdfLoadedTextMarkupAnnotation thisNotation = (PdfLoadedTextMarkupAnnotation)markup;
//Modifying annotation color
thisNotation.Color = color;
}
}
}
//Creates new Pdf Document
PdfDocument nwDoc = new PdfDocument();
//Merging inorder to export the pdf
PdfDocument.Merge(nwDoc,doc);
//Save the document and dispose it.
nwDoc.Save(“annotoutput.pdf");
ldoc.Close();
nwDoc.Close();
