Draw ink tool in annotation toolbar

@using Syncfusion.Blazor.Buttons
@using Syncfusion.Blazor.SfPdfViewer

<SfButton OnClick="OnClick">Ink Annotation</SfButton>
<SfPdfViewer2 @ref="viewer" DocumentPath=@DocumentPath Height="100%" Width="100%" ></SfPdfViewer2>

@code {
    SfPdfViewer2 viewer;
    private string DocumentPath { get; set; } = "wwwroot/Data/PDF_Succinctly.pdf";

    public async void OnClick(MouseEventArgs args)
    {
        await viewer.SetAnnotationModeAsync(AnnotationType.Ink);
    }
}

Editing the properties of the ink annotation

The stroke color, thickness, and opacity of an ink annotation can be modified using the corresponding tools in the annotation toolbar.

Editing stroke color

Change the stroke color using the color palette available in the Edit Stroke Color tool.

Change stroke color of ink annotation

Editing thickness

Adjust the border thickness using the range slider in the Edit Thickness tool.

Change thickness of ink annotation

Editing opacity

Control the transparency using the range slider in the Edit Opacity tool.

Change opacity of ink annotation

Setting default properties during the control initialization

Default properties for ink annotations can be configured before rendering the component using InkAnnotationSettings. After interacting with the toolbar, subsequent annotations will use the most recently selected values.

@using Syncfusion.Blazor.SfPdfViewer

<SfPdfViewer2 @ref="viewer"
              DocumentPath=@DocumentPath
              Height="100%"
              Width="100%"
              InkAnnotationSettings="@InkAnnotationSettings">
</SfPdfViewer2>

@code {
    SfPdfViewer2 viewer;
    private string DocumentPath { get; set; } = "wwwroot/Data/PDF_Succinctly.pdf";

    PdfViewerInkAnnotationSettings InkAnnotationSettings = new PdfViewerInkAnnotationSettings 
    { 
        Author = "Syncfusion", 
        StrokeColor = "green", 
        Thickness = 3, 
        Opacity = 0.6 
    };
}

Add ink annotation programmatically

The Blazor SfPdfViewer supports programmatically adding ink annotations using the AddAnnotationAsync method. Use the PdfAnnotation model with AnnotationType.Ink and define its Bound and path data.

Below is an example demonstrating how to add an ink annotation to a PDF document:

@using Syncfusion.Blazor.Buttons
@using Syncfusion.Blazor.SfPdfViewer

<SfButton OnClick="@AddInkAnnotationAsync">Add Ink Annotation</SfButton>
<SfPdfViewer2 Width="100%" Height="100%" DocumentPath="@DocumentPath" @ref="@Viewer" />

@code {
    SfPdfViewer2 Viewer;
    public string DocumentPath { get; set; } = "wwwroot/Data/Ink_Annotation.pdf";

    public async void AddInkAnnotationAsync(MouseEventArgs args)
    {
        PdfAnnotation annotation = new PdfAnnotation();
        // Set the annotation type of Ink
        annotation.Type = AnnotationType.Ink;
        // Set the PageNumber starts from 0. So, if set 0 it repersent the page 1.
        annotation.PageNumber = 0;

        // Bound of the Ink annotation
        annotation.Bound = new Bound();
        annotation.Bound.X = 200;
        annotation.Bound.Y = 150;
        annotation.Bound.Width = 150;
        annotation.Bound.Height = 100;
        // Ink annotation path data;
        annotation.Data =

Edit ink annotation programmatically

The Blazor SfPdfViewer supports programmatic editing of ink annotations using the EditAnnotationAsync method. Retrieve annotations with GetAnnotationsAsync and modify properties such as position, size, StrokeColor, and Opacity.

Below is an example demonstrating how to edit an ink annotation programmatically:

@using Syncfusion.Blazor.Buttons
@using Syncfusion.Blazor.SfPdfViewer

<SfButton OnClick="@EditInkAnnotationAsync">Edit Ink Annotation</SfButton>
<SfPdfViewer2 Width="100%" Height="100%" DocumentPath="@DocumentPath" @ref="@Viewer" />

@code {
    SfPdfViewer2 Viewer;
    public string DocumentPath { get; set; } = "wwwroot/Data/Ink_Annotation.pdf";

    public async void EditInkAnnotationAsync(MouseEventArgs args)
    {
        // Get annotation collection
        List<PdfAnnotation> annotationCollection = await Viewer.GetAnnotationsAsync();
        // Select the annotation want to edit
        PdfAnnotation annotation = annotationCollection[0];
        // Change the position of the ink annotation
        annotation.Bound.X = 125;
        annotation.Bound.Y = 125;
        // Change the width and height of the ink annotation
        annotation.Bound.Width = 100;
        annotation.Bound.Height = 75;
        // Change the stroke color of ink annotation
        annotation.StrokeColor = "#FFFF00";
        // Change the opacity (0 to 1) of ink annotation
        annotation.Opacity = 0.5;
        // Edit the ink annotation
        await Viewer.EditAnnotationAsync(annotation);
    }
}

This code edits the first available ink annotation programmatically within the SfPdfViewer component.
