This sample code shows replacing Text Annotations in PDF document via C#


    using Aspose.Pdf.Cloud.Sdk.Model;
    using System.Runtime.Intrinsics.X86;

    namespace Annotations
    {
        public class ReplaceAnnotation
        {
            public static async Task<TextAnnotation> GetAnnotationAsync(AnnotationsHelper helper, string documentName, string annotationId, string remoteFolder)
            {
                // Get annotation by Id in the PDF document.
                TextAnnotation annotationResult = null;
                TextAnnotationResponse response = await helper.pdfApi.GetTextAnnotationAsync(documentName, annotationId, folder: remoteFolder);

                if (response == null)
                    Console.WriteLine("GetAnnotationAsync(): Unexpected error!");
                else if (response.Code < 200 || response.Code > 299)
                    Console.WriteLine("GetAnnotationAsync(): Failed to request text annotation from the document.");
                else
                {
                    Console.WriteLine("GetAnnotationAsync(): annotation '{0}' with '{1}' contents successfully found in the document '{2}.", response.Annotation.Id, response.Annotation.Contents, documentName);
                    annotationResult = response.Annotation;
                }
                return annotationResult;
            }

            public static async Task ModifyAsync(AnnotationsHelper helper, string documentName, string outputName, string annotationId, string remoteFolder)
            {
                // Change annotation on the page in the PDF document.
                await helper.UploadFile(documentName);
                TextAnnotation annotation = await ReplaceAnnotation.GetAnnotationAsync(helper, documentName, annotationId, remoteFolder);

                annotation.Contents = helper.config.REPLACED_CONTENT;
                annotation.Icon = TextIcon.Star;

                TextAnnotationResponse response = await helper.pdfApi.PutTextAnnotationAsync(documentName, annotationId, annotation, folder: remoteFolder);
                if (response == null)
                    Console.WriteLine("ModifyAnnotation(): Unexpected error!");
                else if (response.Code < 200 || response.Code > 299)
                    Console.WriteLine("ModifyAnnotation(): Failed to request text annotation from the document.");
                else
                {
                    Console.WriteLine("ModifyAnnotation(): annotation '{0}' successfully modified in the document '{1}.", annotationId, documentName);
                    await helper.DownloadFile(documentName, outputName, "replaced_annotatiom_");
                }
            }
        }
