Dynamic Annotation allows for the addition of annotation capabilities to your .NET applications, so that you can markup and draw objects onto a PDF document. Such objects might include underlines or highlights, notes/comments, circles, and more. These visible metadata elements are superimposed over the image, but do not change the underlying master PDF image.
Supported objects include text, rectangles, lines and ellipses. You can add one or many annotations to each page, and all annotations can be independently resized, moved, rotated, and placed on different layers. You can also select multiple annotations, forming a group.
