Adding text highlighting annotation
Would be nice if text highlight annotation can be implemented in pdfsharp. I can't get the code in the accepted answer found on Stackoverflow to work: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/43413097/how-to-create-annotation-using-pdfsharp-to-highlight-text-of-existing-pdf. Not sure what I'm doing wrong. Here's my code using the PdfHighlightAnnotation class found on that site:
public static void Main()
{
const string outName = "test1.pdf";
PdfDocument? document = new PdfDocument();
PdfPage? pageNewRenderer = document.AddPage();
XGraphics? xgf = XGraphics.FromPdfPage(pageNewRenderer);
xgf.DrawString("Hello world!", new XFont("Arial", 12), XBrushes.Black, 30, 30, XStringFormats.Default);
PdfHighlightAnnotation highLightAnnot = new PdfHighlightAnnotation();
highLightAnnot.Title = "Title";
highLightAnnot.Subject = "Subject";
highLightAnnot.Contents = "Contents";
highLightAnnot.Opacity = 1.0;
var rect = xgf.Transformer.WorldToDefaultPage(new XRect(new XPoint(30, 30), new XSize(100, 20)));
highLightAnnot.Rectangle = new PdfRectangle(rect);
highLightAnnot.Color = XColors.Yellow;
pageNewRenderer.Annotations.Add(highLightAnnot);
SaveDocument(document, outName);
}
