Add polyline annotation Leave feedback

setBox() defines the annotation position on the page
setOpacity() allows you to set the annotation opacity
setPenColor() defines the frame color
setPenStyle() defines the frame line style (solid, dash, dot etc.)
setPenWidth() defines the frame line width in pixels
setSvgPath() defines the SVG path that describes shape

To add a polyline annotation, follow these steps:

Instantiate the Annotator class. Specify the input document path or stream.
Instantiate the PolylineAnnotation class. Specify the appropriate properties (position, page number, etc).
Call the add() method. Specify the PolylineAnnotation class.
Call the save() method. Specify the output document path or stream.

The following code snippet shows how to add PolylineAnnotation to the document:

Java

// This example demonstrates adding polyline annotation.

// Create an instance of Annotator class
Annotator annotator = new Annotator("inputPath");

try {
    // Create an instance of Reply class and add comments
    Reply reply1 = new Reply();
    reply1.setComment("First comment");
    reply1.setRepliedOn(Calendar.getInstance().getTime());

    Reply reply2 = new Reply();
    reply2.setComment("Second comment");
    reply2.setRepliedOn(Calendar.getInstance().getTime());

    java.util.List<Reply> replies =  new ArrayList<Reply>();
    replies.add(reply1);
    replies.add(reply2);

    // Create an instance of AreaAnnotation class and set options
    PolylineAnnotation polyline = new PolylineAnnotation();
    polyline.setBox(new Rectangle(250, 35, 102, 12));
    polyline.setCreatedOn(Calendar.getInstance().getTime());
    polyline.setMessage("This is polyline annotation");
    polyline.setOpacity(0.7);
    polyline.setPageNumber(0);
    polyline.setPenColor(65535);
    polyline.setPenStyle(PenStyle.Dot);
    polyline.setPenWidth((byte) 3);
    polyline.setReplies(replies);
    polyline.setSvgPath("M250.8280751173709,48.209295774647885l0.6986854460093896,0l0.6986854460093896,-1.3973708920187793l0.6986854460093896,0l0.6986854460093896,-1.3973708920187793l1.3973708920187793,-0.6986854460093896l0.6986854460093896,-0.6986854460093896l0.6986854460093896,0l2.096056338028169,-1.3973708920187793l3.493427230046948,-1.3973708920187793l0.6986854460093896,-0.6986854460093896l1.3973708920187793,-1.3973708920187793l0.6986854460093896,0l1.3973708920187793,-0.6986854460093896l0.6986854460093896,0l0.6986854460093896,-0.6986854460093896l0.6986854460093896,0l0.6986854460093896,0l0,-0.6986854460093896l0.6986854460093896,0l0.6986854460093896,0l1.3973708920187793,0l0,-0.6986854460093896l0.6986854460093896,0l1.3973708920187793,0l0.6986854460093896,0l1.3973708920187793,0l0.6986854460093896,0l2.096056338028169,-0.6986854460093896l1.3973708920187793,0l0.6986854460093896,0l0.6986854460093896,0l1.3973708920187793,0l1.3973708920187793,0l1.3973708920187793,0l2.096056338028169,0l5.589483568075117,0l1.3973708920187793,0l2.096056338028169,0l0.6986854460093896,0l1.3973708920187793,0l0.6986854460093896,0l1.3973708920187793,0l1.3973708920187793,0l0.6986854460093896,0.6986854460093896l1.3973708920187793,0l2.096056338028169,1.3973708920187793l0.6986854460093896,0l0.6986854460093896,0l0,0.6986854460093896l1.3973708920187793,0l0.6986854460093896,0.6986854460093896l1.3973708920187793,0.6986854460093896l0,0.6986854460093896l0.6986854460093896,0l1.3973708920187793,0.6986854460093896l1.3973708920187793,0.6986854460093896l3.493427230046948,0.6986854460093896l1.3973708920187793,0.6986854460093896l2.096056338028169,0.6986854460093896l1.3973708920187793,0.6986854460093896l1.3973708920187793,0l1.3973708920187793,0.6986854460093896l0.6986854460093896,0l0.6986854460093896,0.6986854460093896l1.3973708920187793,0l0.6986854460093896,0l0.6986854460093896,0l2.7947417840375586,0l1.3973708920187793,0l0.6986854460093896,0l1.3973708920187793,0l0.6986854460093896,0l0.6986854460093896,0l1.3973708920187793,0l0.6986854460093896,0l2.7947417840375586,0l0.6986854460093896,0l2.7947417840375586,0l1.3973708920187793,0l0.6986854460093896,0l0.6986854460093896,0l0.6986854460093896,0l0.6986854460093896,0l0.6986854460093896,0l0.6986854460093896,0l0.6986854460093896,-0.6986854460093896l0.6986854460093896,0");
