Hi Venkitesh,


Thanks for taking interest in GroupDocs APIs.

Yes, you can use GroupDocs.Annotation for .NET in combination with GroupDocs.Viewer for .NET which will perfectly serve each of your requirements. You can use GroupDocs.Annotation for .NET API to annotate the document and then GroupDocs.Viewer for .NET to view/render the annotated document in your application. We have also developed some open source Showcase applications using GroupDocs.Annotation for .NET. You can download these applications to understand and learn how both APIs can work together. Furthermore, as these applications are open source, you can also use them and modify them as per your requirements.

Secondly, your mentioned file formats are supported in GroupDocs.Viewer for .NET (view supported file formats). However, to know about the supported file formats of GroupDocs.Annotation for .NET (or in case of any further information related to this API), you can post your query in GroupDocs.Annotation Product Family forum where support representative will entertain you accordingly.

In case of any confusion, please feel free to let us know.

Warm Regards

Hi Venkitesh,


Thanks for writing back to us.

GroupDocs.Viewer for .NET does not contain any feature to annotate the documents and therefore, you can not serve your annotation requirements without using GroupDocs.Annotation for .NET which provides an extensive number of markup tools to annotate the supported documents formats.

In case something is not clear at your end, please let us know.

Warm Regards
