How to delete annotations from PDF document pages using Cloud Java SDK

For removing page annotations from PDF documents, we’ll use Aspose.PDF Cloud Java SDK This Cloud SDK allows you to easily build cloud-based PDF creator, editor & converter apps in Java language for various cloud platforms. Open Repository package manager, search for Aspose.PDF Cloud and install. You may also use the following command from the Package Manager Console for install it using Maven.

Add Aspose Cloud repository to your application pom.xml

Add Aspose Cloud repository


    <repositories>
        <repository>
            <id>aspose-cloud</id>
            <name>Aspose Cloud Repository</name>
            <url>https://releases.aspose.cloud/java/repo/</url>
        </repository>
    </repositories>

To install the API client library to your local Maven repository, simply execute:

Installation from Github


    mvn clean install

To deploy it to a remote Maven repository instead, configure the settings of the repository and execute:

Deploy Maven repository


    mvn clean deploy

This sample code shows removing Page Annotations from PDF document via Java


    package com.aspose.asposecloudpdfusecases.annotations;

    import java.io.File;
    import java.nio.file.Path;
    import java.nio.file.StandardCopyOption;
    import com.aspose.asposecloudpdf.api.PdfApi;
    import com.aspose.asposecloudpdf.model.AsposeResponse;

    public class AnnotationRemove {
        public static void Delete() {
            String REMOTE_FOLDER   = "Your_Temp_Pdf_Cloud";
            String LOCAL_FOLDER    = "c:\\Samples";
            String PDF_DOCUMENT    = "sample.pdf";
            String PDF_OUTPUT      = "annotation_delete_output.pdf";
            Integer PAGE_NUMBER = 1;

            try {
                PdfApi pdfApi = new PdfApi(API_KEY, API_SECRET);

                // upload local PDF file to remote storage
                File file = new File(Path.of(LOCAL_FOLDER, PDF_DOCUMENT).toString());
                pdfApi.uploadFile(Path.of(REMOTE_FOLDER , PDF_DOCUMENT).toString(), file, null);
                System.out.println(String.format("File '%s' successfully uploaded!", Path.of(LOCAL_FOLDER, PDF_DOCUMENT).toString()));

                AsposeResponse response = pdfApi.deletePageAnnotations(PDF_DOCUMENT, PAGE_NUMBER, null, REMOTE_FOLDER);
                if (response.getCode() != 200)
                    System.err.println("Error: unexpected error when deleting annotations! '" + response.getStatus() + "'");
                else{
                    // download changed PDF file from remote folder...
                    File f = pdfApi.downloadFile(Path.of(REMOTE_FOLDER , PDF_DOCUMENT).toString(), null, null);
                    java.nio.file.Files.copy(Path.of(f.getPath()), Path.of(LOCAL_FOLDER, PDF_OUTPUT), StandardCopyOption.REPLACE_EXISTING);
                    System.out.println(String.format("File '%s' successfully dowloaded!", Path.of(LOCAL_FOLDER, PDF_OUTPUT).toString()));                
                    System.out.println("Successfully added annotation in document ! '" + PDF_OUTPUT + "'");
                }
            }
            catch (Exception e) {
                e.printStackTrace();
            }
        }
    }
 

Work with the annotations in PDF via Java SDK

Adding annotations to a PDF serves many important purposes across different use cases. One of the most common reasons is for review and feedback. Annotations let users highlight specific parts of a document, leave comments, ask questions, or suggest changes. This makes the review process more efficient and organized, especially when multiple collaborators are involved. Add the Annotations into PDF documents with Aspose.PDF Cloud Java SDK.
