Adding text to pdf

Post by ap_mi »

Hello,

Is there a way of adding text to a pdf with the Viewer SDK? My eventual goal is to be able to add a text footer at the very bottom of each page.

Thanks in advance.

Hello ap_mi,

The Viewer (and the SDK) can not modify the base contents of a PDF file, so to achieve this you will need to e.g. use annotations, and then flatten them to make them base content.
If you want full and proper access to the base content of a PDF File - then please look at the Editor/Core API SDKs.

Regards,
Stefan
