| PdfUriAction | Represents an action that resolves a Uniform Resource Identifier (URI). |
| PdfGoToAction | Represents an action that navigates to a destination within the current document. |
For more action classes and their descriptions, refer to Spire.PDF for .NET action API references.
Actions can be added to PDF documents in two primary ways:
1. Using Action Annotations
This method involves creating an action and linking it to an annotation on the page. The action is displayed and triggered when the annotation is clicked.
General Steps:
- Create an instance of PdfDocument class and load a PDF document using PdfDocument.LoadFromFile() method.
- Get a page using PdfDocument.Pages[] property.
- Create an instance of the class that represents the action and set the action properties.
- Create an instance of PdfActionAnnotation class in a rectangular area on the page using the action.
- Add the cue word for the action to the page (optional).
- Add the action annotation to the page using PdfPageBase.Annotations.Add() method.
- Save the result document using PdfDocument.SaveToFile() method.
2. Assigning Actions to Document Events
Actions can also be assigned to document-level events such as opening, closing, or printing the document. These actions are triggered automatically when the specified events occur.
General Steps:
- Create an instance of PdfDocument class and load a PDF document using PdfDocument.LoadFromFile() method.
- Create an instance of the class that represents the action and set the action properties.
- Assign the action to a document event using the following properties:
- PdfDocument.AfterOpenAction
- PdfDocument.AfterSaveAction
- PdfDocument.AfterPrintAction
- PdfDocument.BeforeCloseAction
- PdfDocument.BeforeSaveAction
- PdfDocument.BeforePrintAction
- Save the result document using PdfDocument.SaveToFile() method.
Create Navigation Actions in PDF with C#
Navigation actions can be created using the PdfGoToAction class, which defines navigation within the document to a specified destination. To achieve this, developers can create a PdfDestination object and pass it as a parameter to a PdfGoToAction instance.
The following is a code example of adding a navigation action to a PDF:
- C#
using Spire.Pdf;
using Spire.Pdf.Actions;
using Spire.Pdf.Annotations;
using Spire.Pdf.General;
using Spire.Pdf.Graphics;
using System.Drawing;
namespace AddNavigationButtonPDF
{
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
// Create an instance of PdfDocument
PdfDocument pdf = new PdfDocument();
// Load a PDF file
pdf.LoadFromFile("Sample.pdf");
// Create a PdfDestination instance and set the destination
PdfDestination destination = new PdfDestination(pdf.Pages[1]);
destination.Location = new PointF(0, 0);
destination.Mode = PdfDestinationMode.Location;
destination.Zoom = 0.8f;
// Create a PdfGoToAction based on the destination
PdfGoToAction action = new PdfGoToAction(destination);
// Create a rectangle and draw it on the first page
RectangleF rect = new RectangleF(70, pdf.PageSettings.Size.Height - 120, 140, 20);
pdf.Pages[0].Canvas.DrawRectangle(PdfBrushes.LightGray, rect);
// Draw cue words on the rectangle
PdfFont font = new PdfFont(PdfFontFamily.TimesRoman, 14);
PdfStringFormat stringFormat = new PdfStringFormat(PdfTextAlignment.Center);
pdf.Pages[0].Canvas.DrawString("To Page 2", font, PdfBrushes.Green, rect, stringFormat);
// Create a PdfActionAnnotation instance based on the rectangle and the action
PdfActionAnnotation actionAnnotation = new PdfActionAnnotation(rect, action);
// Add the action annotation to the first page
pdf.Pages[0].Annotations.Add(actionAnnotation);
// Save the document
pdf.SaveToFile("output/NavigationButton.pdf");
pdf.Close();
}
}
}
Create File Launch Actions in PDF with C#
The PdfLaunchAction class defines a file open action in a PDF that enables users to open a specific file by clicking a button embedded on a PDF page. When implementing this action, developers can set the file path (absolute or relative) and decide whether the file should open in a new window. Here is a code example for adding a file launch action in a PDF document:
- C#
using Spire.Pdf;
using Spire.Pdf.Actions;
using Spire.Pdf.Annotations;
using Spire.Pdf.Graphics;
using System.Drawing;
namespace AddFileLaunchActionPDF
{
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
// Create an instance of PdfDocument
PdfDocument pdf = new PdfDocument();
// Load a PDF file
pdf.LoadFromFile("Sample.pdf");
// Get the first page
PdfPageBase page = pdf.Pages[0];
// Draw a rectangle on the page
RectangleF rect = new RectangleF(50, 50, 180, 20);
page.Canvas.DrawRectangle(PdfBrushes.LightGray, rect);
// Darw the cue words in the rectangle
PdfFont font = new PdfFont(PdfFontFamily.TimesRoman, 14);
PdfStringFormat stringFormat = new PdfStringFormat(PdfTextAlignment.Center);
pdf.Pages[0].Canvas.DrawString("Click to launch Sample2", font, PdfBrushes.Green, rect, stringFormat);
// Create a PdfLaunchAction instance
PdfLaunchAction action = new PdfLaunchAction("C:/Sample2.pdf", PdfFilePathType.Absolute);
// Set the launch mode to open in new window
action.IsNewWindow = true;
// Create a PdfActionAnnotation instance based on the rectangle and the launch action
PdfActionAnnotation actionAnnotation = new PdfActionAnnotation(rect, action);
// Add the action annotation to the first page
page.Annotations.Add(actionAnnotation);
// Save the document
pdf.SaveToFile("output/LaunchAction.pdf");
pdf.Close();
}
}
}
Create Sound Actions in PDF with C#
Developers can embed audio as an action in PDF documents with the PdfSoundAction class, enabling the audio to play in response to specific triggers, such as opening the file or clicking a button. Below is a code example for creating a sound action in a PDF document:

static void Main(string[] args)
{
// Create an instance of PdfDocument
PdfDocument pdf = new PdfDocument();
// Load a PDF file
pdf.LoadFromFile("Sample.pdf");
// Get the first page
PdfPageBase page = pdf.Pages[0];
// Darw the cue image on the page
PdfImage image = PdfImage.FromFile("Sound.png");
page.Canvas.DrawImage(image, new PointF(30, 30));
// Create a PdfSoundAction instance and set its property
PdfSoundAction action = new PdfSoundAction("Wave.wav");
// Set the sound parameters
action.Sound.Bits = 16;
action.Sound.Channels = PdfSoundChannels.Stereo;
action.Sound.Encoding = PdfSoundEncoding.Signed;
action.Sound.Rate = 44100;
// Set the play options
action.Volume = 0;
action.Repeat = true;
action.Mix = true;
action.Synchronous = true;
// Create a PdfActionAnnotation instance using the sound action at the location of the cue image
RectangleF rect = new RectangleF(30, 30, image.Width, image.Height);
PdfActionAnnotation actionAnnotation = new PdfActionAnnotation(rect, action);
// Add the action annotation to the first page
page.Annotations.Add(actionAnnotation);
// Set the sound action to play after the document is opened
pdf.AfterOpenAction = action;
// Save the document
pdf.SaveToFile("output/SoundAction.pdf");
pdf.Close();
}
}
}
Create Web Link Actions in PDF with C#
Developers can use the PdfUriAction class to create a web link action in PDF documents, allowing users to open a web link when performing specific actions, such as clicking a button. Below is a code example for creating a web link action in a PDF document:
- C#
using Spire.Pdf;
using Spire.Pdf.Actions;
using Spire.Pdf.Annotations;
using Spire.Pdf.Graphics;
using System.Drawing;

// Load a PDF file
pdf.LoadFromFile("Sample.pdf");
// Get the first page
PdfPageBase page = pdf.Pages[0];
// Draw a rectangle on the page
RectangleF rect = new RectangleF(30, 30, 120, 20);
page.Canvas.DrawRectangle(PdfBrushes.LightGray, rect);
// Draw the cue words in the rectangle
PdfFont font = new PdfFont(PdfFontFamily.TimesRoman, 14);
PdfStringFormat stringFormat = new PdfStringFormat(PdfTextAlignment.Center);
page.Canvas.DrawString("Go to Google Search", font, PdfBrushes.LightSkyBlue, rect);
// Create a PdfUriAction instance and set its property
PdfUriAction action = new PdfUriAction();
action.Uri = "https://www.google.com/";
// Create a PdfActionAnnotation instance using the web link action and the rectangle
PdfActionAnnotation actionAnnotation = new PdfActionAnnotation(rect, action);
// Add the action annotation to the first page
page.Annotations.Add(actionAnnotation);
// Save the document
pdf.SaveToFile("output/WebLinkAction.pdf");
pdf.Close();
}
}
}
