C# retrieve all annotations information from a PDFDocument


String inputFilePath = Program.RootPath + "\\" + "1_Annots.pdf";

PDFDocument doc = new PDFDocument(inputFilePath);
List<IPDFAnnot> annots = PDFAnnotHandler.GetAllAnnotations(doc);

Console.WriteLine("Number of Annotations: " + annots.Count);
if (annots.Count > 0)

        Console.WriteLine("Annotation");

        Console.WriteLine("  Subject:  " + annot.Subject);
        Console.WriteLine("  Content:  " + annot.Content);
    }
}




C# retrieve all annotations information from a PDF page


String inputFilePath = Program.RootPath + "\\" + "1_Annots.pdf";

PDFDocument doc = new PDFDocument(inputFilePath);
PDFPage page = (PDFPage)doc.GetPage(0);
List<IPDFAnnot> annots = PDFAnnotHandler.GetAllAnnotations(page);




C# delete all annotations from pdf document


String inputFilePath = Program.RootPath + "\\" + "1_Annots.pdf";

PDFDocument doc = new PDFDocument(inputFilePath);
//  get all annotations in the 1st page
PDFPage page = (PDFPage)doc.GetPage(0);
List<IPDFAnnot> annots = PDFAnnotHandler.GetAllAnnotations(page);
//  remove all annotations in the 1st page
PDFAnnotHandler.DeleteAnnotation(doc, annots);




C# retrieve annotation popup note window's properties


String inputFilePath = Program.RootPath + "\\" + "Annot_1.pdf";

PDFDocument doc = new PDFDocument(inputFilePath);
List<IPDFAnnot> annots = PDFAnnotHandler.GetAllAnnotations(doc);
foreach (IPDFAnnot annot in annots)

    if (annot is IPDFPopupAnnot)
    {
        Console.WriteLine("Annotation has popup window");

        IPDFPopupAnnot obj = (IPDFPopupAnnot)annot;
        Console.WriteLine("Is open in the begin:  " + obj.Popup.IsOpen);
        Console.WriteLine("Popup window boundary: " + obj.Popup.Boundary.ToString());
    }
    else
    {
        Console.WriteLine("Annotation has no popup window");
    }
}




C# retrieve annotation flags


String inputFilePath = Program.RootPath + "\\" + "Annot_1.pdf";

PDFDocument doc = new PDFDocument(inputFilePath);
List<IPDFAnnot> annots = PDFAnnotHandler.GetAllAnnotations(doc);
foreach (IPDFAnnot annot in annots)

    Console.WriteLine("Annotation Flags");
    Console.WriteLine("  Invisible:       " + annot.IsInvisible);

    Console.WriteLine("  Toggle No View:  " + annot.IsToggleNoView);
    Console.WriteLine("  Locked Contents: " + annot.IsLockedContents);
}




C# set annotation flags


String inputFilePath = Program.RootPath + "\\" + "2.pdf";
String outputFilePath = Program.RootPath + "\\" + "Annot_1.pdf";

//  create the annotation
PDFAnnotDeleteLine annot = new PDFAnnotDeleteLine();
annot.StartPoint = new PointF(100F, 200F);
annot.EndPoint = new PointF(300F, 400F);

//  set annotation flags
annot.IsInvisible = false;
annot.IsPrint = true;
annot.NoRotate = true;
annot.NoZoom = true;

//  add annotation
PDFAnnotHandler.AddAnnotation(inputFilePath, 1, annot, outputFilePath);
