InkAnnotation Class
Defines an ink annotation.
Declaration
public class InkAnnotation extends MarkupAnnotationRemarks
Ink annotations display handwritten marks or freeform drawing paths on a PDF page.
The following code snippet adds a freehand drawing to the first page:
package pdf;
import com.devexpress.docs.pdf.*;
import com.devexpress.system.drawing.*;
import java.nio.channels.*;
import java.nio.file.*;
import java.util.List;
public class Main {
public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
try (FileChannel fileChannel = FileChannel.open(Path.of("Document.pdf"));
PdfDocument pdfDocument = new PdfDocument(fileChannel)) {
Page page = pdfDocument.getPages().getFirst();
createInkAnnotation(page);
try (WritableByteChannel channel =
FileChannel.open(Path.of("Result.pdf"),
StandardOpenOption.CREATE,
StandardOpenOption.WRITE,
StandardOpenOption.TRUNCATE_EXISTING)) {
pdfDocument.save(channel);
}
}
}
static void createInkAnnotation(Page page) {
List<PointF[]> inks = List.of(
new PointF[] { new PointF(100, 300),
new PointF(120, 290),
new PointF(150, 305),
new PointF(180, 295)
},
new PointF[] {
new PointF(210, 320),
new PointF(240, 340),
new PointF(270, 330)
}
);
InkAnnotation annotation = new InkAnnotation(new RectangleF(80, 780, 260, 120));
annotation.setInks(inks);
annotation.setTitle("Reviewer");
annotation.setContent("Handwritten note.");
annotation.setColor(PdfColor.getBlue());
page.getAnnotations().add(annotation);
}
}
