Bookmarks in a pdf file using ASP.NET

Question

0.00/5 (No votes)

See more:

I need the following functionality in a web application developed using ASP.NET

-Display a pdf file on a web page.
-Allow users to add bookmarks and comments alongwith bookmarks.
-When user adds a bookmark, I want some sort of callback that can be used to save the bookmark text and corresponding comments into my database
-Users can search through all the Comments added by various users. When user selects a record from the search list, I want to display the pdf file and highlight/navigate to the bookmark text.

Can someone suggest a tool or api to achieve this? There is a control RAD PDF which can be used to implement the required functionality, but I want to see if there are any other options. Thanks in advance for the helpful suggestions by CodeProject community.

Have a look at PDF.js[^]. It's the same tool that Firefox uses to display PDF files in the browser, and has a lot of options for processing PDF files.
