------------------------------------------------------------------
This is a huge task… our export currently just does name and value, but for
annotations we need each item with lots of different types. That's the kind of
improvement that will have to come from a helpful user (happens sometimes, this
is how we got the improved annotations import recently).

> ExportFDF tool skips FDF from annotations
> -----------------------------------------

> Key: PDFBOX-4498
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-4498
> Project: PDFBox
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Utilities
> Affects Versions: 2.0.14
> Reporter: Nick Burch
> Priority: Minor
> Labels: Annotations
> Attachments: SimpleWithComments.pdf, SimpleWithComments.xfdf
>
>
> I have a PDF which contains lots of comments, which I want to export as XFDF.
> (Currently, this is done manually by firing up Acrobat, going to the Comment
> tool, and picking {{Export all to Data File}})
> If I use the {{org.apache.pdfbox.tools.ExportFDF}} tool, I get a FDF with no
> comments in. If I tweak it to use {{saveXFDF}} instead of {{saveFDF}}, I get
> an almost-empty XFDF with no comments either
> From some limited research, it seems that the tool only handles the
> form-based FDFs, not the annotation-based FDFs. Ideally it would be extended
> to handle both.
> In case it helps, attached is a simple 1 page PDF with 2 comments in, and the
> XFDF you get if you export the comments in Acrobat
