Here's the edited dump from an internal tool of one of those
annotations:
1 (CosDict& 35)
2 AP (CosDict)
291 C (CosArray)
295 CreationDate = D:20110504082511-05'00' (CosString)
296 F = 4 (CosInteger)
297 M = D:20110504082511-05'00' (CosString)
298 NM = 05ff164d-f023-4832-9f58-497e4a7f2e50 (CosString)
299 Name = nissanIQi-01K (CosName)
300 P (CosDict& 10)
(this caused my tool to go up to the page, then spider down to
Everything Else on the whole page... lots of irrelevant crap)
1215 Popup (CosDict& 38 line 476)
1216 Rect (CosArray)
1221 Subj = nissanIQi-01K (CosString)
1222 Subtype = Stamp (CosName)
1223 T = ganningb (CosString)
1224 Type = Annot (CosName)
It looks like you need to get the Name or Subject and parse out the bit
you want.
PS: It also looks like this file was originally created with iText 1.4.

Hi Mark,
Sure. Here is the PDF
As I stated I can get the comments, but ideally I would like to
get the values 2N1, 01H, 01K
Thanks for the help.

Subject: [iText-questions] itext, coldFusion,
annotations and Pop-Up Notes
I am trying to grab either the text or stamp
information from a pdf through coldfusion. Right now I have a PDF with
3 Stamps and 1 Comment box. Each stamp is composed of two elements. A
text piece and a circle stamp with text such as 2d0f. I am trying to get
the stamp info. I am close, but I must be missing something.
<cfscript>
//Load my PDF ( it has 1 comment, and 3 stamps.
Each stamp has a text box and a cirle with text)
reader =
CreateObject("java","com.lowagie.text.pdf.PdfReader").init(expandPath("t
est.pdf"));
// PDF is just one page
pageDict = reader.getPageN(1);
pdfname =
createObject("java","com.lowagie.text.pdf.PdfName");
// Get Annotations
annots = pageDict.getAsArray(pdfname.ANNOTS);
iterator = annots.listIterator()>
</cfscript>
<!--- Now loop through the iterations --->
<cfloop condition="iterator.hasNext()">
<cfset annot =
reader.getPdfObject(iterator.next())>
<cfset a =
reader.getPdfObject(annot).toString()>
<cfset content =
reader.getPdfObject(annot.get(pdfname.CONTENTS))>
<cfif not isNull(content)>
<cfoutput>
<!--- properly displays the
comments from the pdf ---->
content=#reader.getPdfObject(annot.get(pdfname.CONTENTS))#
<p>
</cfoutput>
<cfelse>
<cfdump var="#annot#">
<!--- I get 6 null objects. Which
I am sure coincide with the 3 stamps made up with two parts each. It is
my understanding that these are POP-UP Notes but I cannot get their
value --->
<cfoutput>
it was null
</cfoutput>
<p>
</cfif>
</cfloop>
