You can search the image inside PDF document and place a text annotation (sticky note) at the image location in order to annotate it. For example, please check the following code snippet and let us know if it does not fulfill your requirements completely:

Document pdf = new Document(dataDir + "sample_input_with_icon.pdf");
foreach (Page page in pdf.Pages)
{
 ImagePlacementAbsorber imagePlacementAbsorber = new ImagePlacementAbsorber();
 page.Accept(imagePlacementAbsorber);
 foreach (ImagePlacement imagePlacement in imagePlacementAbsorber.ImagePlacements)
 {
  TextAnnotation annot = new TextAnnotation(page, imagePlacement.Rectangle);
  annot.Contents = "This is annotation";
  page.Annotations.Add(annot);
 }
}
pdf.Save(dataDir + "annotated.pdf");

Hi Asad,

Thanks for the respose. Annotation for the image is working perfect there is no issue, but i can see there is a problem when trying to find a shape or trying to annotate it. How can we search and annotate a shape within pdf file. Please find the sample files.

Input File : sample_input_with_shape_and_icon.pdf (118.8 KB)

Expected output File : expected_with_shape_and_icon.pdf (152.1 KB)

The icon which you want to extract from the PDF is a drawn object and API does not have feature of extracting drawn shapes from the PDF at the moment. The ticket is logged to investigate the feasibility of this feature and it will be reviewed on a first come first serve basis. We are afraid that we cannot share any ETA before complete analysis of the ticket. However, we will inform you within this forum thread as soon as we have some news in this regard.
