Hi everyone, I am trying to extract some information from a PDF that is called "Layer" in AdobeReader. It is shown as a colored background over a certain text span and expands to a box showing some additional information when mouse-clicked. So far I did the following:
I identified every of such entries on every page by: //one page PdfDictionary pageDict = myPdfReader.getPageN(i); //all annotations on one page PdfArray annotations = pageDict.getAsArray(PdfName.ANNOTS); //one annotation on one page PdfDictionary curAnnot = annotations.getAsDict(j); I found out, the my annotation subtype is "/Link", and looking up the links dictionary (currLink.get(PdfName.S)) revealed /Javascript. But I am stuck at this point. currLink.get(PdfName.JS) only gives me strange results I do not understand. They look like: "6 0 R" or "8 0 R". And the pdf specifications at '12.6.4.16JavaScript Actions' don't give much more information either. I am interested in the text, that is displayed when the actual annotation in the PDF document is 'mouse clicked', so somehow I need to get to the javescript code, I guess. I am grateful for any ideas how to achieve this, best regards, Alex -- Dipl. Bioinformatiker Alexander G.
