I want to add annotations to a word or sentence in PDF when using FineReader engine, but no success.
All I can find is, how to enable it using PDFEncryptionInfo Object.
Can someone please give me an example on how to add this can be done ?

Hi
I have been looking to provide something like this also, but also wasn't able to find it in FineReader.
On the other side .... FineReader is a .... reader.
I have found other ways to do so with iText (commercial) and Apache PDFBox (open source)
Here are some examples;
- iText : https://stackoverflow.com/a/3343916
- iText : http://www.java2s.com/Tutorial/Java/0419__PDF/AddtexttoanexistingPdfdocument.htm
- PDFBox : https://www.tutorialspoint.com/pdfbox/pdfbox_adding_text.htm
- PDFBox : https://stackoverflow.com/a/36450284

@Koen de Leijer Thank you for helping.
Can anyone from Abbyy confirm that finereader engine cannot add annotations ?
Hi,
@Koen de Leijer, thank you for your answer!
@owolm, indeed, ABBYY FineReader Engine 11 does not support adding/creating new annotations to the output PDF file. It is just possible to process the input PDF file and create a searchable PDF file which contains the same page images and annotations and the invisible text layer based on the recognized text of the document. If you are interested in this functionality, you can try to use the IEngine::InjectTextLayerEx method.
@Oksana Serdyuk Thanks for the info I will check it out.
Are there any plans to add this feature in the future ?
There is no plans to add the possibility for creating new annotations in the outputs, but we are going to add opportunity to rasterize all kinds of annotations in the future releases of FRE 12 (for example, at the moment only the FreeText annotations are supported).
