Full List of Issues Covering all Changes in this Release

Public API and Backward Incompatible Changes

Implement the ability to extract annotations from PDF documents

Description

This improvement allows you to extract annotations from PDF documents either simultaneously with extracting the entire text of the document, or separately.

Public API changes

Class AnnotationItem has been added to GroupDocs.Parser.Data namespace.
Property System.String Value has been added to GroupDocs.Parser.Data.AnnotationItem class.

Property Boolean Annotations has been added to GroupDocs.Parser.Options.Features class.
Property Boolean IncludeAnnotations has been added to GroupDocs.Parser.Options.TextOptions class.

Method System.Collections.Generic.IEnumerable<GroupDocs.Parser.Data.AnnotationItem> GetAnnotations() has been added to GroupDocs.Parser.Parser class.
Method System.Collections.Generic.IEnumerable<GroupDocs.Parser.Data.AnnotationItem> GetAnnotations(Int32) has been added to GroupDocs.Parser.Parser class.

Usage

The following example demonstrates how to extract annotations from a PDF document simultaneously with extracting the full text:

using (Parser parser = new Parser("C:\\MyDocuments\\MyFile.pdf"))
{
    TextOptions options = new TextOptions()
    {
        IncludeAnnotations = true
    };
    using (TextReader reader = parser.GetText(options))
    {
        string text = reader.ReadToEnd();
        Console.WriteLine(text);
    }
}

The following example demonstrates how to extract annotations from a PDF document separately:

using (Parser parser = new Parser("C:\\MyDocuments\\MyFile.pdf"))
{
    IEnumerable<AnnotationItem> annotations = parser.GetAnnotations();
    foreach (AnnotationItem annotation in annotations)
    {
        Console.WriteLine(annotation.Value);
    }
}

Implement NuGet packages for .NET 6, .NET 8, .NET 10

This improvement adds NuGet packages for three platforms: .NET 6, .NET 8, and .NET 10. Therefore, packages for five platforms are now available:
https://www.nuget.org/packages/GroupDocs.Parser.Net462
https://www.nuget.org/packages/GroupDocs.Parser.NetStandard21
https://www.nuget.org/packages/GroupDocs.Parser.Net60
https://www.nuget.org/packages/GroupDocs.Parser.Net80
https://www.nuget.org/packages/GroupDocs.Parser.Net100
And there is no need to choose which one to install. Install the router package — it will automatically select the appropriate package for your platform:
https://www.nuget.org/packages/GroupDocs.Parser
