Features

The Tools of the Trade

A robust annotation system with a set of easy-to-use tools will make your app the stalwart of document handling in any business environment.

Toolbar

The annotation toolbar enables quick access to all the annotation types in the PDF spec. It’s fully customizable, and it even supports predefined pen tool settings for seamless switching between visual annotation styles.

Guides

Note

Note annotations let you add longer comments to PDF documents. You can also select a custom icon shape and color for the note through the custom note inspector.

Guides

Ink

With ink annotations, you can add predefined shapes and create freeform drawings on a PDF document. Color and line thickness are easily adjustable via the annotation inspector in the toolbar.

Guides

Text

Add new text directly to the page, and take advantage of many convenient features, like automatic annotation sizing, copy and paste, text rotation, custom font selection, justification, and callout annotations.

Guides

No Zoom Annotation

Set the noZoom property to enhance usability and ensure a consistent viewing experience. All annotations remain the same size, regardless of the PDF's zoom level. Seamlessly view construction plans and other complex documents, no matter how many annotations they contain.

Enhanced Stamps with Baseline UI

Save a stamp in the browser's local storage so you can reuse it without having to create a new stamp each time. Customize the stamp to automatically pull in the user ID of the person editing the PDF. Delete stamps from the template picklist, override the view to add more features, and customize aspects like the font size and the height/width of the background.

Inspector

The context-sensitive annotation inspector provides fine-grained control over how annotations look — from border and fill colors, to opacity and font settings.

Guides

Basic Annotation Permissions

Secure your documents by setting specific controls on annotations, such as allowing users to view, edit, and lock down content.

Multiple Annotations Selection

Select or deselect multiple annotations simultaneously for batch manipulation with a user-friendly UI.
