How to Add Rectangle or Line Object to An Existing PDF File using .NET

This technical tip shows how .NET developers can add line object to an Existing PDF File inside their .NET applications. Aspose.Pdf for .NET supports the feature to add graph objects (for example graph, line, rectangle etc.) to PDF documents. You also get the leverage to add Line object where you can also specify the dash pattern, color and other formatting for Line element. The legacy Aspose.Pdf.Generator provides the feature to set DashLengthInBlack and DashLengthInWhite properties where dash pattern for line object can be defined. Similar features can be accomplished while using DOM approach.
