PDF Annotation Component

Overview

PDF Annotators are the most widely used tool especially for PDF files. Unlike other file formats, a PDF file is not easily editable and hence requires few annotations in order to make the content clear. How nice would it be if we have a component that would help us with PDF annotations directly in Appian. Well, here it is, the PDF Annotation component that brings along plenty of features to upload, annotate and download the desired PDF document.

  • Upload, Annotate and Download PDF files directly in Appian.
  • Allows us to add new text and highlight the existing text.
  • Allows us to add Sticky notes and draw shapes.
  • Additional features like enabling form filing and auto save.
