Individuals and organizations often utilize various types of annotations to mark-up images and documents. But as digital collaboration grows, so does the need for defining and granting user and group level permissions to create, edit, and remove annotations. This blog walks through how to implement and set annotation roles and groups in a .NET 6 WinForms application using LEADTOOLS.

In our previous blog, we discussed the benefits of using the LEADTOOLS Document SDK to easily recognize hundreds of different forms and invoices. This post will build off of that, showcasing how to then automatically extract information and data from the recognized forms.

First, we will identify and then process the fields. The fields are the various locations on the form that were set when we created the master form (or template) for each invoice or specific form type. Our processing engine will look for data in those designated areas. There are many types of data fields including text, images, tables, OMR bubbles, and barcodes. Our engine loads and processes all the fields for the developer to then easily write how they want that information distributed. It is often good practice to check to see what type of field was processed and then write code for that type accordingly.

Creating an application to print files can be difficult. Luckily, LEADTOOLS supports rasterizing and rendering various file formats via a Windows service or console application. The project below can print any of LEAD’s 150+ supported file formats.
