Draw a circle annotation on a PDF page

Use jetformat pdf circle to draw a circle annotation on a PDF page.

By Jetformat

Specify the annotation rectangle on a 1-based page. This adds a review mark and does not alter the original diagram or text beneath it.

Steps

  1. Start with a local PDF. Replace the sample paths and identifiers with your own.
  2. Run the command below. Save to a new output path so the source remains available for comparison.
  3. Check the result as described below before using it in another job.
jetformat pdf circle book.pdf --page 1 --x 72 --y 72 --width 80 --height 80 -o circle.pdf

Notes and limits

This operation uses page-based credits. Review the billing guide before processing a large document.

The examples keep the original file. Add --force only when you intend to overwrite an existing output. Run jetformat pdf circle --help to compare options with your installed version.
