javascript annotation store

Post by szzs »

hi,
we have developed a multiuser PDF annotation solution for a customer
with Adobe Acrobat Standard
and now we are looking for a cheaper PDF annotation client replacement

our solution uses embedded javascript in the PDF files,
and registers a custom annotation store with the Acrobat's Collab object's addAnnotStore() method
and saves/updates the annotations to/from our server using web service (SOAP) communication
using the Acrobat's Net.SOAP object

is it possible to implement such s solution with the XChange Viewer (Pro)?
does your product support some kind of network communication for the javascript embedded in PDF documents?
does it support extracting / updating the annotations programmatically, like the Acrobat's annotation store abstraction?

thanks

Hi szzs,

Thank you for your post.
Regarding your questions:
  • Collab object's addAnnotStore() method? -> Not supported
  • Net.SOAP object -> Not supported
  • Network communication for the JavaScript code embedded in PDF doucuments? -> Not supported
  • Extract/Update annotations like Acrobat's annotation store abstraction? ->Annotation object supported (Methods: destroy, getProps, setProps)
Please send us an email to support@pdf-xchange.com and we will send you a copy of the PDF-XChange Viewer Active-X SDK Manual where you can check all the supported JavaScript objects or download the SDK from here: https://www.pdf-xchange.com/product ... ctivex-sdk
Thanks.

Sincerely
