I have converted a TIF Image to Text PDF document. Now I want to highlight the a specific coordinate of the TIF Image in the PDF Document because my client is using the Text PDF document for View and Text copy requirement.

 

So please suggest if there is any feature or through which a PDF document can be highlighted similar to a TIF image (GDI+). 

 

Note: I am using a paid PDF component (patagames.pdf) in my C# .Net Application.

The answer is Yes, for an Acrobat plug-in developed with the Adobe Acrobat SDK.

The answer is No for an Acrobat automation script written with the Acrobat JavaScript Model. 

 

We can't say anything about any other PDF viewers or development tools.

Hi,

 

It doesn't look like you are using the Adobe SDK or PDF Library, can you confirm what you are using from Adobe to do this?

Currently I am using patagames.pdf component but I want to know if this is feasible in pdf ask?

I may then decide to work with pdf ask.

Please read "pdf ask" as "PDF SDK". It is due to auto correction.
