Create custom Annotation from coordinates was created by Faris

Hi support team,

I would like to create custom rectangular annotations, based on coordinates received (x, y, height, width) , programmatically on the PDF files when the viewer started.
Would also want the annotations to be clickable to do some actions (open a new view controller / alertDialog etc.)

For example,
I would like to annotate the text like in attachment picture, and the user will be only able to click on them but can't do any editing.

Would like ask the support team whether this possible with radaeepdf kit?

Thanks in advance,
Faris

Dear Faris,

if you want to add an annotation using the view coordinate system, you can add this slice of code in PDFView class and customize it based on your needs:

Code:

    // get the vpage to calculate the annot size based on current scale value
    PDFVPage *vpage = [m_view vGetPage:0];
    PDFPage *page = [vpage GetPage];
    
    // customize this part to modify the rect size and position
    int x = 50;
    int y = 100;
    int width = 500;
    int height = 100;
    
    // convert the coordinate system from screen to pdf
    struct PDFV_POS pos1;
    struct PDFV_POS pos2;
    
    [m_view vGetPos:&pos1 :(x - self.contentOffset.x) * m_scale :(y - self.contentOffset.y) * m_scale];
    [m_view vGetPos:&pos2 :(x - self.contentOffset.x + width) * m_scale :(y - self.contentOffset.y + height) * m_scale];
    
    PDF_RECT rect;
    
    rect.left = pos1.x;
    rect.right = pos2.x;
    rect.top = pos2.y;
    rect.bottom = pos1.y;
    
    // add the annotation
    [page addAnnotRect:&rect: g_rect_Width * m_scale / [m_view vGetScaleMin:0]: g_rect_color: 0];
    
    // refresh the page
    [m_view vRenderSync:0];
    [self refresh];

this code shows how to add a rect annotation on page 0, then you can add your custom action on OnAnnotClicked method of RDPDFViewController class

Hi Emanuele,

Can this annotation method be done on a Swift project?

Hi,

the Swift module is distributed with the Obj-C lib project and you are free to add this feature and create a custom library with the make file.
