Change in behavior of ReadOnly property

[ugradedeveloper]

In build 42.2, I have noticed that setting a document's ReadOnly property (to true) has one effect which it did not have before. It becomes impossible to view text which is in a pop-up note. Even right-clicking on the note and selecting "Open pop-up note" does nothing.

Build 41 did not have this behavior. Was this by design? It is a problem for my users.

Thanks.

Actually any actions with Popup notes (like open, close, movement) lead to modification of the PDF document. So, when you are setting a document's ReadOnly property to true – this should deny any operations with popup notes as well.

Well, I can work around this by making sure that tooltips are always enabled. However, if the amount of text in a comment exceeds a certain amount (somewhere between 500 and 600 characters by my testing), then the tooltip will only display part of the comment text. There is no way to view the rest of the text except by opening the pop-up.

It may be that I need to stop using the ReadOnly property in my application. However, I think it should be possible to view the complete text of a comment even in read-only mode. So there seems to be a problem with the program behavior as it stands.

Thanks.

Ok. I think that in new build we will allow to open/close popup notes even in ReadOnly mode.

Would it be possible for the tooltip text to be "scrollable" if it is too long to display all at once? Just a thought.

We are planning to make scrollable popup notes but the realization of such a feature won't be in the near future.
