Rectangular HighlightAnnotation

Aspose.PDF Product Family

Hi,

I want to create a simple rectangular highligh annotation; but what I get is something like ellipse, with round left and right sides.

Can you please advise on how to create a simple rectangular annotation with straight sides?

PS: I dislike posting such simple questions here, but the documentation about annotations objects are very hard to follow and does not have samples except a few "first look" ones. Additionally, object model is not well structured for some reason (properties have types such as string or object - and it takes too long time to find what to put there). For this reason, if you can provide assistance about the requirement, I would appreciate it.

Any news for me?

Hi there,


Thanks for your inquiry. I’m afraid, we have already noticed this issue in HighlightAnnotation and logged the issue in our issue tracking system as, PDFNEWNET-34497, for further investigation and correction. I’ve also linked your request to the issue. You will be notified via this forum thread as soon as issue is resolved.
Moreover, As a workaround you can use SquareAnnotation for the purpose. please check following code snippet for the purpose.

//create SquareAnnotation
SquareAnnotation squareAnnotation = new SquareAnnotation(pdfDocument.Pages[1], new Aspose.Pdf.Rectangle(200, 200, 250, 220));
squareAnnotation.Title = “Sample Annotation Title”;
squareAnnotation.Subject = “Sample Annotation Subject”;
squareAnnotation.Contents = “Sample contents for the Annotation”;
squareAnnotation.Color = Aspose.Pdf.Color.FromRgb(System.Drawing.Color.Yellow);
Border border = new Border(squareAnnotation);
border.Width = 0;
//add annotation in the annotations collection of the page
pdfDocument.Pages[1].Annotations.Add(squareAnnotation);

Please feel free to contact us for any further assistance.

Best Regards,

Ok, but the point is an "highlight" object would not be opaque; and lets the text under it to be seen. What you suggested totally hides what lies beneath.

Am I wrong? Any other suggestions please?

Can you please suggest any other type of annotation whose opacity works at this time? I really need a temporary solution for this; until the issue is solved on your side.

Hi,


Thanks for contacting support.

As per my understanding, you need to add a simple highlight annotations with transparent visibility and the contents beneath that should be visible. As a workaround, you may try using CreateMarkup(…) method of PdfContentEditor class but I am afraid it creates the annotation with curved sides rather than straight side. You may try using the following code snippet and see if it can fulfill your requirements.

For your reference, I have also attached the sample output generated with below specified code snippet.

[C#]

PdfContentEditor editor = new
PdfContentEditor();<o:p></o:p>

editor.BindPdf("c:/pdftest/Conversion_HelloWorld.pdf");

editor.CreateMarkup(new System.Drawing.Rectangle(80, 670, 100, 20),"", 0, 1, System.Drawing.Color.Yellow);

editor.Save(“c:/pdftest/HighLight_example_out.pdf”);
