- Add the annotation to the page and save the modified PDF.
public static void squareAnnotationAdd(Path inputFile, Path outputFile) {
try (Document document = new Document(inputFile.toString())) {
SquareAnnotation squareAnnotation = new SquareAnnotation(
document.getPages().get_Item(1), new Rectangle(60, 600, 250, 450, true));
squareAnnotation.setTitle("John Smith");
squareAnnotation.setColor(Color.getBlue());
squareAnnotation.setInteriorColor(Color.getBlueViolet());
squareAnnotation.setOpacity(0.25);
document.getPages().get_Item(1).getAnnotations().add(squareAnnotation);
document.save(outputFile.toString());
}
}
public static void polygonAnnotationAdd(Path inputFile, Path outputFile) {
try (Document document = new Document(inputFile.toString())) {
PolygonAnnotation polygonAnnotation = new PolygonAnnotation(
document.getPages().get_Item(1),
new Rectangle(200, 300, 400, 400, true),
new Point[]{
new Point(200, 300),
new Point(220, 300),
new Point(250, 330),
new Point(300, 304),
