Hi friends,

I want to change the position of the newly added annotation and save into the database. I want to create as many annotations and change the position (top, left) of any annotation. I am using asp.net with c#.

Waiting for your reply. Need urgent

Can you try using

QP.SetAnnotDblProperty(annotID, 105, left);

QP.SetAnnotDblProperty(annotID, 106, top);

Hi Andrew,

Thanks for reply.

But I don't want to set the top and left positions statically:

i.e. QP.SetAnnotDblProperty(annotID, 105, 200).

When i move the annotation, get the new top and left position and save into the database.

Is there any function to get the new coordinates.

Waiting for your reply.

Regards,

Dhanaraj.s

More information is needed.

Are you saying when the user moves the annotation around with the mouse that you want to get the coordinates of the Annotation that was just moved ?

What database are you talking about ?

QP.GetAnnotDblProperty(annotID, 105) will return the Left position of the annotation.

Debenu Quick PDF Library does not have and GUI functionality to work with Windows or ASP.NET.

Hi Andrew,

When a pdf file with annotations is opened/ newly created, if i move the annotation to a new place in the document and now i want to save the pdf file using my gui. When i again opened the pdf file, the annotation should be displayed in the new place(where i moved the annotation). Actually my requirement is user can add the annotation and user can change the annotation position and the user can save the annotation.

Regards,

Dhanaraj. S

Dhanara,

a. Do you have an application working with Debenu Quick PDF Library already ?

I can assume then that you have QPL code to read the positons of the annotations and your create graphics nodes in a special ASP.NET Graphics library which supports moving, resizing, panning, zooming. What annotation types do you need to support ? Text, Note, Markup ?

b. Are you in the process of developing this new functionality and looking for a simple component to do all the moving, editing for you ?

Andrew.

Andrew,

Thanks for your reply

a ) I need to support Annotation type for "Note". I am developing a new component in asp.net/c# to move, edit and locking an annotation for a user specific.

I want sample code for reading a dynamic annotation position. I dont have QPL code to read the positions

waiting for your reply.

regards,

Dhanaraj. S

Here is some sample code to extract the Annotation properties.

QP.LoadFromFile("annots.pdf", "");

for (int i = 1; i <= QP.AnnotationCount(); i++)

{

if (QP.GetAnnotStrProperty(i, 101) == "Popup") // Note type annotation.

{

string name = QP.GetAnnotStrProperty(i, 103);

double left = QP.GetAnnotDblProperty(i, 105);

double top = QP.GetAnnotDblProperty(i, 106);

}
