Crie múltiplos objetos `PointAnnotation` e adicione‑todos antes de chamar `save()`: -## Recursos +```java +annotator.add(point1); +annotator.add(point2); +annotator.add(point3); +annotator.save(outputPath); +``` + +**P: Qual o impacto de performance ao adicionar muitas anotações?** +R: Cada anotação adiciona um overhead mínimo de processamento, mas a gravação do documento é onde você notará impactos de performance com centenas de anotações. Considere agrupar operações quando possível. + +**P: Posso remover ou modificar anotações depois de adicioná‑las?** +R: Sim, GroupDocs.Annotation suporta remoção e modificação de anotações. Você pode recuperar anotações existentes, alterar suas propriedades e salvar o documento atualizado. + +**P: Anotações de ponto funcionam com PDFs protegidos por senha?** +R: Sim, mas você precisará fornecer a senha ao inicializar o Annotator: + +```java +Annotator annotator = new Annotator("protected.pdf", "password"); +``` + +## Próximos Passos e Recursos Avançados + +Agora que você dominou as anotações de ponto, explore estes recursos avançados do GroupDocs.Annotation: + +- **Anotações de área** para destacar seções maiores +- **Anotações de texto** para comentários inline +- **Anotações de seta** para indicadores direcionais +- **Tipos de anotação personalizados** para casos de uso especializados + +### Caminho de Aprendizado Recomendado +1.
