Underline, Overline and Strike Out the Text

Aspose.Pdf also provides basic text formatting effects like underline, overline and strike out. We know that we apply text formatting effects using Text.TextInfo property. TextInfo class has a few boolean properties to apply such effects on the text as follows:

 

• IsUnderline
• IsOverline
• IsStrikeOut

 

We can set the IsUnderline IsOverline and IsStrikeOut properties of TextInfo to true to make the text underline, overline and strike out.
