Creating Layers via code

Post by Serhii »

Hi!

We use licensed PDF-XChange Editor SDK in a WPF Desktop app.

We noticed that in the PDF-XChange Editor, it is possible to insert layers and save a pdf document. And after we load the document to our app, we can see layers in the Quick Tools. Unfortunately, we cannot use Quick Tools because there are features that can break our user flow, so we disable it for our users.

Could you tell me if it is possible to create layers from code? And if yes, how can we add annotations to a specific layer?

Thanks!

Hello, Serhii

I am afraid that at the moment, it is not possible to manipulate layers via code. We have had some previous discussion about that in this thread if you would like to see the Developers reply: viewtopic.php?p=161830#p161830

Kind regards,
