1) Glad the summit was successful!!! 2) Thanks for confirming what I thought. So I have to copy the individual PdfDictionaries (Annots), then basically add them back to the new document. Which might make it just easier to copy the content and create new ones, since I'm only concerned about TextBox/text annots anyway, it makes the parsing of the data easier...
