op.annots.move SDK Help sample -> "the parameter is incorrect" SOLVED

[zarkogajic]

Hi Support,

I'm trying to copy annotations from one core document to another. I'm trying with "op.annots.move".

I'm following the sample from https://sdkhelp.pdf-xchange.com/view/PXV:op_annots_move

On Op.Do() I'm getting "the parameter is incorrect" exception.

My code looks like:

Code: Select all

//both AnnotationFromSourceCoreDoc AND TARGETCoreDoc have a valid reference
int nID = Inst.Str2ID("op.annots.move", false);
PDFXEdit.IOperation Op = Inst.CreateOp(nID);
PDFXEdit.ICabNode input = Op.Params.Root["Input"];
input.Add().v = AnnotationFromSourceCoreDoc;
PDFXEdit.ICabNode options = Op.Params.Root["Options"];
options["NewDoc"].v = TARGETCoreDoc;
options["Copy"].v = true;
Op.Do(); //-> EXCEPTION HERE

p.s.
Btw, the "Doc" for "NewDoc" should be an IPXC_Document, not IPXV_Document as in that sample, correct?

Hello zarkogajic,

Hmm, I don't have any exceptions in the original sample, where the annots are being copied in the same document. Do you also have troubles with the original sample?
But I did recreate the behavior with other document as a NewDoc parameter.

Cheers,
Alex

Hello zarkogajic,

Found the issue - the pages count in my destination document was less then the options["NewPageIndex"].v = 3;

After further inspection - it seems that copying annotations in other documents via this operation is not yet implemented. You can even try doing that in the End-User Editor - it won't work.
A TODO from our side.

Cheers,
Alex

Hi Alex,

Thanks for the input.

Once implemented - will this operation allow copying annotations from one *core* document to another (so, not IPXV_Document)?

If "yes", why page-by-page as requested by the "Input" parameter (SDK Help: Note that all of the annotations must belong to one page in one document)?

Hello zarkogajic,

We've made a fix for this one and it will be available from the 353 build that should be available in a week or so.

Cheers,

Hi Alex,

What was actually fixed here?

I'm still getting the "The parameter is incorrect" if for the "NewDoc" entry I'm using a different Core Document.

p.s.
So, trying to copy annotations from one core document to another using "op.annots.move".

Hello zarkogajic,

This works for me:

MoveAnnotsToAnotherDoc.zip

Hi Alex,

Thanks.

The problem seems to be with the "NewPageIndex" parameter.

If I leave it as "-1" (default) then AV.

If I specify the page index - seems to work.
