Reply Note Attributes?

[DanielG]

A number of annotations (Highlight, Text, Circle, Square, etc.) allow you to add a note and a reply note. Using JavaScript, I am able to get the attributes for a note: annot.richContents

However, I don't seem to be able to find any way to access the reply note attributes via JavaScript. Am I missing something?

Unfortunately in JS for PDF there are no simple function to get all replies to the the annotation, but it easily can be done using own function, like that:

Code: Select all

function getAllReplies(annot)
{
  var replies = [];
  var annots = this.getAnnots(annot.page);
  var cnt = 0;
  for (var i = 0; i < annots.length; i++)
  {
    if (annots[i].type == "Text" && annots[i].inReplyTo == annot.name)
      replies[cnt++] = annots[i];
  }
  return replies;
}

// using example
var a = getAnnots(0)[0];
var replies = getAllReplies(a);

it gets an array of immediate replies to the annotation; to get a tree of all replies, you have to call it recursively for each annotations in returned array for each level.

Thank you - that was very helpful.
