PowerPoint: Annotate PowerPoint
To get started with DocImage SDK for .NET, you are supposed to read VB.NET Imaging: Get Started first!
As we know, an annotation is used to note or comment PowerPoint (.pptx) slide as a kind of compensation for limitations (other documents are compatible, including PDF, TIFF, MS Word and Excel). Most of end users would like to install and use Microsoft PowerPoint software and create PPT slide annotation through adding a box to create some text or image contents.

PPT Annotator
PowerPoint annotating control in VB.NET of RasterEdge .NET Imaging SDK is the most easy-to-use and professional PPT document annotation tool which has been perfectly developed based on the core techniques of VB .NET PowerPoint document SDK and VB.NET imaging annotating library. It shows great capabilities on platform flexibility and full annotation options.
As for the feature of platform-friendly, this .NET PPT page annotating component for VB.NET is compatible with any Visual Studio (like 2005, 2008, 2010 or 2012) and .NET framework (including .NET 2.0, 3.0, 3.5, 4.0 & 4.5) developing environments. In addition, this PPT annotating control can be installed and integrated within Windows, web and mobile PowerPoint applications with just a few steps.
What comes the most important is its great ability in offering full options on adding and creating more than 10 kinds of annotation shapes, including line, lines, free hand, free hand line, rectangle, text, hotspot, hotspot free hand, rubber stamp, callout, embedded image, and ellipse. Once you have loaded a certain PPT (.pptx) document to the VB.NET PowerPoint annotating project, you are completely free to draw any annotation on slide with no more plug-ins needed like Acrobat or Adobe reader.
We still provide the comprehensive guide for C# end users and developers to apply
.NET PowerPoint annotating tool in C#.NET.
What Are Needed?
Users need to add following implementations to your VB.NET PPT document project to correctly apply annotation features.
- RasterEdge.Imaging.Basic.dll
- RasterEdge.Imaging.Annotation.dll
- RasterEdge.Imaging.MSPPT.dll
Apart from the above necessary .NET imaging assemblies, other operating requirements are:
- Windows operating systems on 32-bit and 34-bit binaries
- Microsoft Office PowerPoint 2007, 2010 and later versions
- Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 & later and .NET Framework 2.0 & later
How to Annotate
With this mature PowerPoint annotating combining application, VB.NET users are not only able to create and add any supported annotation object at any certain PPT slide location, also capable of burning and merging the created annotation object to the original PPT slide. For the details, please see following demo APIs and methods.
Private Function AddFloatingItem(item As BaseItem) As Integer Implements PPTXPage.AddFloatingItem
End Function
Private Sub MergItemsToPage() Implements PPTXPage.MergItemsToPage
End Sub
Simple explanations for PPT annotation methods:
- PPTXPage: PPTXPage is the virtual PowerPoint (.pptx) document presentation and belongs to PPTXDocument, working just like PDFPage and TIFFPage in VB.NET program.
- AddFloatingItem: designed to add and draw annotation on VB.NET project PPT document slide with a user-defined annotation shape.
- MergItemsToPage: this particular method is developed to allow VB.NET users to burn and combine the added annotation object on PPT slide against unwanted altering.
Annotating Demo Codes
After being well informed of the developing concepts and VB.NET programming APIs, you may directly use following VB.NET sample codes to draw and add different annotations to PPT slide or develop your individualized PPT annotating program.
