Feature Request: xref key access in properties

Post by [email protected] »

We use PDFs with advanced metadata attached to them in the for of optional keys attached to the annotation object within the PDF editor. It would be great to be able to view and set these additional key values from the properties toolbar.

Hello, nickcoffee

I have passed this along to the Dev team for consideration, but I am not certain that they will accept this, as Xref information is something generally not meant to be quite so easily accessible. Perhaps if there is some higher demand for it we could see it in the future, but I would not get my hopes up today.

Kind regards,

Thanks so much. This feature will allow a huge amount of extensibility to the annotations!

Hello, Shahbaz

I have just checked on the status, and it seems this one is still not implemented. I will check if we can increase the priority here, but I cannot say when it may be done.
