Add image annotation

Image annotation allows to add image within document page like shown at the picture below.

There is an ability to specify the next properties for ImageAnnotation type:

  • ImagePath – defines image local or remote path.
  • Box – defines annotation position at document page using Rectangle structure; (image will be resized for your custom width and height)
  • Opacity – allows to set annotation opacity (present in all supported formats, examples of it you can see above);
  • Angle – defines annotation rotation angle.

Follow these steps to add Highlight annotation to document:

  • Instantiate Annotator object with input document path or stream;
  • Instantiate ImageAnnotation object with desired properties (position, page number, etc);
  • Call Add method and pass ImageAnnotation object;
  • Call Save method with resultant document path or stream.

The following code demonstrates how to add ImageAnnotation to the document:

using (Annotator annotator = new Annotator("input.pdf"))
            {
                ImageAnnotation area = new ImageAnnotation
                {
                    Box = new Rectangle(100, 100, 100, 100),
                    Opacity = 0.7,
                    PageNumber = 0,
                    ImagePath = "www.google.com.ua/images/branding/googlelogo/2x/googlelogo_color_92x30dp.png",
                    Angle = 100
                };
                annotator.Add(area);
                annotator.Save("result.pdf");
            }
