.NET Cloud SDK to communicate with REST APIs and build annotation tools for C# .NET applications.
GroupDocs.Annotation Cloud REST API for .NET allows you to programmatically work with business document annotation operations and develop tools using C# and other .NET technologies. The tools that you develop using our annotation SDK for .NET APIs, enable your end-users to annotate files of supported file formats, such as PDF, Microsoft Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Images and various other formats. Apply redactions, watermark overlays, sticky notes, pointers and text markups etc. The open-source SDK works as a wrapper for cross-platform .NET REST APIs. Apply annotations as drawings or text markups.

You can try GroupDocs.Annotation Low-Code .NET APIs without any limitations.
GroupDocs.Annotation Cloud is also available as Docker image which can be used to self-host the service. Or you may build your own Java services using GroupDocs.Annotation High-code APIs which currently drive our REST APIs.
GroupDocs.Annotation Cloud SDK for .NET allows you to utilize all the features of the GroupDocs.Annotation REST API which provides a number of ways to deal with the annotations. It not only allows retrieving annotations from documents but also adds (exports) annotation to a document and retrieves the resultant document as a stream. The below-mentioned example shows how easy is to import annotation using the SDK for .NET:
// Get your AppSID and AppKey at https://dashboard.groupdocs.cloud (free registration is required).
var configuration = new Configuration(AppSID, AppKey);
var apiInstance = new AnnotateApi(configuration);
// Set request.
var request = new GetImportRequest()
{
filePath = "docs/document.docx"
};
var response = apiInstance.GetImport(request);
In GroupDocs.Annotation Cloud SDK for .NET, support for two primary annotation types is available. Each annotation type then further has numerous sub-types. The two primary types are; drawing based annotations and text-based annotations or markups. Text-based annotations are used to add comments to text selections, hide confidential text by redaction, apply underlines or strikethroughs to mark text, and stick notes to rich text. Whereas, graphical annotations are used to highlight area with rectangular shape and add notes to it, hide classified image or text, pick particular point within document and apply notes to it, drop arrow to an object to point towards it, draw lines and shapes, apply text-based watermarks, and distance based annotations.
Integration of GroupDocs.Annotation Cloud SDK in to your C# or other .NET based applications is pretty easy and straight-forward. Simply create an account at GroupDocs.Cloud and get the App SID & App Key and you are good to go.
