Custom Comment/Mark Properties?

Post by alexSI »

I'd like to know if it's possible to add custom properties to Text Markup and/or Measure marks. Desired outcome is to create additional columns when exporting as .csv.

Hello alexSI,

The properties of annotation objects are defined in the PDF specification, and I do not think that additional custom entries can be created. So - no - there is no way for you to add that additional information in a separate property. However - have you considered using e.g. the Subject line as your custom property?

E.g. that would by default be set to "Typewriter" for each and any new typewriter object you create - but you can then click and type in any value in there:
