Add an ink-path annotation to a PDF

Use jetformat pdf ink to add an ink-path annotation to a PDF.

By Jetformat

Provide a sequence of coordinate pairs for a path on a chosen page. This is a visual annotation rather than a cryptographic signature.

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 ink book.pdf --page 1 --points 10,10,80,40,120,20 -o ink.pdf

Options for this task

Option Meaning
--output Output PDF path (required)
--page 1-based page number (default 1)
--points Points as x,y,x,y…

Check the result

Render the page and inspect the connected path before distributing the annotated file.

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 ink --help to compare options with your installed version.

See the pdf command reference for the surrounding workflow.
