# PDFAnnotationInk

```
class PDFAnnotationInk
```

## Overview

A `PDFAnnotationInk` object displays one or more disjoint Bezier paths on a page. This is typically used to represent a freehand jotting or “scribble” of handwritten text.

The [`lineWidth`](/documentation/PDFKit/PDFBorder/lineWidth) and [`style`](/documentation/PDFKit/PDFBorder/style) properties of the annotation’s associated `PDFBorder` object determines the stroke thickness and style. The [`color`](/documentation/PDFKit/PDFAnnotation/color) property of the `PDFAnnotation` class determines the stroke color.

## Topics

### Accessor methods

[`-  paths`](/documentation/PDFKit/PDFAnnotationInk/paths())

Returns an array containing the Bezier paths that make up an annotation.

### Working with Bezier paths

Adds a Bezier path to an annotation.

[`-  removeBezierPath:`](/documentation/PDFKit/PDFAnnotationInk/remove(_:))

Removes a Bezier path from an annotation.
