Change PDF Annotation properties using iTextSharp C#

Hi I am adding a caret annotation to an already existing PDF using iTextSharp in C#.

Now I want to change some of the annotation's properties, such as Opacity of color and Locked.

enter image description here

Suppose that you have a PdfAnnotation object. This is a class that extends PdfDictionary.

To lock the annotation defined by this annotation dictionary, you need to set the PdfAnnotation.FLAGS_LOCKED flag, for instance with the setFlags() method:

annot.setFlags(PdfAnnotation.FLAGS_LOCKED);

Note that using this method will override the flags that were already defined before.

As for the opacity, that's define by the ca entry of the annotation dictionary.

annot.put(PdfName.ca, new PdfNumber(0.27));

You mention iText as well as iTextSharp, my snippets are lines of Java code. You'll need to apply small changes to the methods if you want to use them in C# code.
