Add Strikeout Annotation

How to add Strikeout Annotation in Java

Strikeout annotation marks text fragment with a strikethrough styling like shown at the picture below.

There is an ability to specify the next fields for StrikeoutAnnotation type:

Follow these steps to add Strikeout annotation to document:

Instantiate Annotator object with input document path or stream;
Instantiate StrikeoutAnnotation object with desired properties (position, page number, etc);
Call add method and pass StrikeoutAnnotation object;
Call save method with resultant document path or stream.

The following code demonstrates how to add StrikeoutAnnotation to the document:

	// This example demonstrates adding text strikeout annotation.

	// Create an instance of Annotator class
	Annotator annotator = new Annotator("inputPath");
	try {
	// Create an instance of Reply class and add comments
	Reply reply1 = new Reply();
	reply1.setComment("First comment");
	reply1.setRepliedOn(Calendar.getInstance().getTime());

	Reply reply2 = new Reply();
	reply2.setComment("Second comment");
	reply2.setRepliedOn(Calendar.getInstance().getTime());

	java.util.List<Reply> replies = new ArrayList<Reply>();
	replies.add(reply1);
	replies.add(reply2);

	Point point1 = new Point(80, 730);
	Point point2 = new Point(240, 730);
	Point point3 = new Point(80, 650);
	Point point4 = new Point(240, 650);

	List<Point> points = new ArrayList<Point>();
	points.add(point1);
	points.add(point2);
	points.add(point3);
	points.add(point4);

	// Create an instance of StrikeoutAnnotation class and set options
	StrikeoutAnnotation strikeout = new StrikeoutAnnotation();
	strikeout.setCreatedOn(Calendar.getInstance().getTime());
	strikeout.setFontColor(65535);
	strikeout.setMessage("This is strikeout annotation");
	strikeout.setOpacity(0.7);
	strikeout.setPageNumber(0);
	strikeout.setPoints(points);
	strikeout.setReplies(replies);

	// Add annotation and save to file
	annotator.add(strikeout);
	annotator.save("outputPath");
	} finally {
	if (annotator != null) {
	annotator.dispose();
	}
	}
