Add and remove annotattion programmatically

[Pierre Courtoy]

Hello,

I would like to be able to add and remove an annotation programmatically in an opened SfPdfViewer, so that the viewer is automatically refreshed with the new annotation.

Is it possible to do in UWP ?

Thanks

Thanks for the support.

I tried the demo but I have a problem.

What I want to do is exactly what is done in the last method of MainPage.xaml.cs => button_Click

But when I try to add a two annotations in this way, there is an ArgumentNullException (in the demo).

Do you know what causes the bug ?

And I would like to be able to highlight and strikethrough text, but when I create an annotation, it uses all the surface I gave, not just the surface where there is text. Is it possible to know where there is text ?

Thanks for your help.

We are unable to reproduce the mentioned issue. We can able to add multiple annotations in a PDF document. Here we have prepared a sample which includes multiple annotations in the single page of a PDF document. Please modify this sample or provide us a sample to reproduce the mentioned issue. This will be helpful for us to look in to this issue.
And I would like to be able to highlight and strikethrough text, but when I create an annotation, it uses all the surface I gave, not just the surface where there is text. Is it possible to know where there is text ?	The co-ordinates of the text can be get from the GetTextCoordinates() method of PdfViewerControl. Using the coordinates, we can add highlight annotation to the text. Please find the code snippet to get the coordinates of the particular text.    >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>  pdfViewer.GetTextCoordinates("1D/Linear BarCodes", 0, out coords);  >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>    We have prepared a sample using which you add the highlight annotation to the text programmatically.

 

Please find the sample from the below link,

Hi Aravinth,

For the bug, I just downloaded again the sample (http://www.syncfusion.com/downloads/support/directtrac/general/ze/PdfViewer_UWP1736746709 ), runs it and clicked on the "Add Annotation" button on the middle of the screen.

Since it adds an annotation programmatically in an open pdf viewer, that is exactly what I'm looking for.

For the way to get the coordinate, thanks for the sample, I will test that.

Hi Aravinth,

I've just tested the GetTextCoordinates but that's not quite what I need.

I need to get the coordinates of a text in a selected zone.

And in the new sample you send, I have the same crash when you click twice on the "Add annotation" button.

Thanks for your help,

Hi,

I also have a ArgumentNullException as soon as I add the second annotion with your sample.

Do you have any fix for this ? We need to be able to add more than one annotation at a time.

Cheers,

Renaud

Hi Aravinth,

I've just tested the new sample but I see that you reload the base document before adding the annotation. In my case, I need to be able to load only one time the base document (via url or path) and add annotation multiple times. 

So I need to be able to save multiple times without having to load the base document again.

So the sample can't really help me.

And the second point (getcoordinates) is of less importance for me.

Thanks for your help,

[Renaud Laloire]

Same for me : when not reloading the document, I can only add one annotation without crashing. As soon as I add a second one, it crashes.

Syncfusion, can you see that ArgumentNullException  ?
