I have need to automatically add a line of text to a selected location on a scanned document.  The text to be added would come from my calling program.  The scanned document is always being saved using the ImageMan PDF option.  I have looked at the "merge" functionality, fine for what I needed for that function, but I have this additional need now.  I've looked at "draw" but that seems to require user intervention, and also sample doesn't seem to allow text onto a transparent background.

Any pointers appreciated.

Hi,

The Draw sample is a good starting poitn but if you just need to draw some text on the image you can use the Windows TextOut function to specify the text to draw using the ImageMan comtrol's hDC property. This will draw the text on the image and you could then save it to disk.
