Add Markup Annotations

Markup annotations are used to emphasize or review text within a PDF. With PdfContentEditor, you can programmatically apply different markup styles by specifying a rectangle area, comment text, markup type, page number, and color.

1. Create the PdfContentEditor object.
2. Bind the input PDF.
3. Define Annotation rectangles.
4. Add Markup Annotations.
5. Save the updated Document.
