How to Underline Text in PDF Stamp using Java?

Aspose.PDF Cloud Product Family
1

Thank you so much for support. Using non-cloud API we had the option to underline the text in a stamp using:
textStamp.getTextState().setUnderline(true);

I couldn’t find any such functionality using cloud API.
Is there any way i can underline the text using aspose-pdf-cloud?

I am afraid currently Aspose.PDF Cloud does not provide Underline property in TextState. So we have logged a ticket PDFCLOUD-2623 for this purpose. We will notify you as soon as we resolve the issue. Meanwhile, please check PostPageUnderlineAnnotation API method to underline Text in PDF, if it fulfills your requirement.

POST ​/pdf​/{name}​/pages​/{pageNumber}​/annotations​/underline Add document page underline annotations.

        Rectangle rect = new Rectangle()

        List<AnnotationFlags> flags = new ArrayList<>();
        flags.add(AnnotationFlags.DEFAULT);

        List<Point> points = new ArrayList<>();
        points.add(new Point().X(10.).Y(10.));
        points.add(new Point().X(20.).Y(10.));
        points.add(new Point().X(10.).Y(20.));
        points.add(new Point().X(10.).Y(10.));

        UnderlineAnnotation annotation = new UnderlineAnnotation();
        annotation.setName("Name");
        annotation.setRect(rect);
        annotation.setFlags(flags);
        annotation.setHorizontalAlignment(HorizontalAlignment.CENTER);
        annotation.setRichText("Rich Text");
        annotation.setSubject("Subj");
        annotation.setZindex(1);
        annotation.setTitle("Title");
        annotation.setQuadPoints(points);
        annotation.setModified("02/02/2018 00:00:00.000 AM");

        List<UnderlineAnnotation> annotations = new ArrayList<>();
        annotations.add(annotation);

        AsposeResponse underlinePDFTextResponse = pdfApi.postPageUnderlineAnnotations(name, pageNumber, annotations, null, null);
        System.out.println("completed......");
    }
}
