To help you have a better understanding of the web document collaborating process, we will take C#.NET TIFF document annotating application as an example. itextsharp read pdf fields vb.net, c# add png to pdf, itextsharp remove text from pdf c#, vb.net search pdf for text, word to pdf c# sample, open pdf and draw c#, vb.net ocr pdf free.
Before you add annotations to source document in web site application, you need to create a client capture application to submit a multi-page tiff document to a web service to a database. asp.net multipage tiff viewer, asp net mvc show pdf in div, asp net show word document in browser, asp.net c# pdf viewer control, display image in asp.net web page, pdf editor asp.net, best pdf preview in asp net c#. Then you can create an ASP.NET class application to navigate and view the document from the SQL database.
The online web document collaborating tutorial page is arranged in following four parts.
  • Configure C#.NET imaging controls for document annotation drawing & viewing
  • Configure C#.NET imaging application for document annotation drawing
  • Configure SQL Database to save & store created annotations
  • Save & load annotations from SQL Database
Deploy Controls for Annotation Drawing & Viewing
Follow the link to create a web viewer using C#.NET. Then open or load a tiff document from web application. After that, please follow the steps below to configure web viewing controls.
  1. Activate the ShowAnnotations propertry of the WebThumbnailViewer;
  2. Activate the AutoLinkThumbnailViewer in WebAnnotationsViwer;
  3. Add two HTML buttons (btnCallout & btnRectangle) for adding sticky notes annotations to document and for highlighting viewing document.
Deploy Application for Annotation Drawing & Writing
After you finish the controls' configuration, now you can deploy the C#.NET web viewer application to draw & add annotations.
  1. Copy following "using statements" to the default.aspx.cs file;
  2. In the Page_Load event handler, create default annotations for Callout and Rectangle using C# code listed below;
  3. Adjust the JavaScript code;
    • Change the InteractMode to Author;
    • Create the annotations;
    • In the OnAnnotationCreated event, change the InteractMode back to Modify so that the normal mouse operations can be regained.
You can have online web document annotation support after adding the code shown below and clicking the created Callout or Rectangle annotations onto the image.
Set SQL Database for Storing Created Annotations
From this part, you can find step-to-step guidance on how to configure the SQL database to store drawn annotations.
  1. To save drawn annotations separately from image data as XML, you need to add an annotation field with type varbinary(MAX);
  2. Create a query to the ImageDatabaseTableAdapter called CaptureAnnotations using the following SQL statement;
    • SELECT Annotations FROM ImageDatabase WHERE ImageID = @ImageID
  3. Create a query to the ImageDatabaseTableAdapter called UpdateAnnotations using the following SQL statement:
    • UPDATE ImageDatabase SET Annotations = @Annotations WHERE (ImageID = @Original_ImageID)
Save & Load Annotations from SQL Database

How to Store Annotations Using C#.NET

  1. Open the toolbox and drag a button (which is called a server button) onto your form and name it btnSave;
  2. Add the following code to the handler (be created by double-clicking) to save the annotations as XMP and store them in the database;

How to Load Annotations Using C#.NET

Remember to load the TIFF image first before you add the code below for annotations loading from the database.
  1. Clear the annotations from the previous image by invoking the ClearAnnotations() method of WebAnnotateViewer;
  2. Get the annotations using the Query previously added.
After you finish above two steps, the C#.NET application can easily load the tiff document with annotations that are stored in the database. Besides, more annotations can be drawn and saved back to the database.
