Hi Ajay,

PDF handling is not part of the core OutSystems functionality. If you want to manipulate PDFs, you should take a look at one of the many PDF components in the Forge, and see if there's one that can do the above.

Hi @Kilian Hekhuis ,

Is there any other way to achieve this? Is there any PDF viewers with text annotation functionality?

Thanks.

I quickly checked, and though there's a Forge component that can extract existing annotations, I can't readily determine whether there's any that allow adding them.

Hi Sachin,

As far as I can seem, that component is for filling in PDF form fields. The OP here is asking about adding annotations. Are you sure the component you linked to can do this?
