Export\Import annotations

[costea]

Hello,
Tell me please if it is possible to export/import annotations programmatically without dialog (ExportAnnots function). If not in ActiveX SDK (C#), maybe it is possible to do this in SDK PRO or Simple SDK?

Hello costea,

You should be able to achieve this using the exportAsFDF, exportAsXFDF JS methods to export the annotations data, and then use the respective importAnFDF, importAnXFDF methods to load the same annotation data in another file.

Regards,
Stefan

Hello,

Thank you for the response. I have another question, is it possible to remove all annotations from a document from the code behind?

Hi costea,

Yes once again - using JS.
Here's a sample code that removes all FreeText annotations from the first page of a file:

Code: Select all

var annots = this.getAnnots({ nPage:0 }); 
for (var i = 0; i < annots.length; i++) 
  if (annots[i].type == "FreeText") annots[i].destroy();

Regards,
Stefan
