Load password-protected documents Leave feedback

GroupDocs.Annotation allows to annotate documents that are protected with a password.

The following are the steps to process password-protected documents.

• Instantiate Annotator object with document path or stream and LoadOptions object that specifies source document password;

The following code sample shows how to work with password-protected documents.

using (Annotator annotator = new Annotator("input.pdf", new LoadOptions() { Password = "1234" }))
{
 	AreaAnnotation area = new AreaAnnotation()
    {
       	Box = new Rectangle(100, 100, 100, 100),
       	BackgroundColor = 65535,
    };
    annotator.Add(area);
    annotator.Save("result.pdf");
}
