Hello,

How can I get all details of annotation position (e : Top left (x,y), buttom Down (x,y).....etc) ?

Thank you for help.

Hi Rad1,

The getProps method gets all the properties for the selected annotation

For the full list of properties an annotation has reffer to adobe's JavaScript for Acrobat API Reference

Here is small sample of how to get all annots rects via JS:

Code: Select all

var annots=this.getAnnots(0);
if(annots!=null)
{
   for(var i=0;i<annots.length;i++)
   {
      var props=annots[i].getProps();
		if (props!=null)
		{
			var name = props["name"];
			console.println("Name:");
			console.println(name);
		   var rectstring;
		   rectstring = props["rect"];
			console.println("Rect:");
			console.println(rectstring);
		}
   }
}

Hi,

Thank you for your response. I'm using JS to develope my application. How can I get the result of RunJavaScript Function using JS. As you know, Javascript does not support the passing of parameters by reference.

There any other alternative ?

Thank you.

Sorry - for now we don’t have any other method for getting annots coordinates.

[Rad1]

Ok, Hope that will be available for the next builds.

Can I intercept event when I draw a new rectangle (annotation) ?

[Corwin - Tracker Sup]

No, Viewer ActiveX doesn’t support such events.

[Rad1]

mmmm

I wanted to use the PDF Xchange viewer to get OCR area in the pdf file using annotation as selector. I hope that the ocr librairy will be available as soon as possible. I'm very satisfied with your products.

Thank you.

Well, you can get mouse events, such as Mouse Down, Mouse Move and Mouse Up, and cursor position in page coordinates, so you can make your own tool to select some rectangle on page.

Thank you Miro

Hello Miro,

I think that your question is a bit away from the original topic - so a separate one would have been better, but could you please be a bit more specific about what exactly selection you want to do - and at what level - and we should be able to point you in the right direction.

Best,
Stefan

Hello miromr,

You can achieve this using JavaScript - and all the cursor coordinate commands and Mouse events you need can be found in the
JavaScript for Acrobat API Reference

Best,
Stefan
