Annotations are stored in an array at the page level. Arrays may only have 8191 entries. This can also implact form fields, but there's a workaround. The fields array only contains parent fields, 'a', not 'a.b'. A suffienctly deep hierarchy lets you have an unlimited number of fields. But you can only have 8388607 objects in a pdf. Each annotation is at least one object, fonts, pages, colors, images... lots of things are made up of one or more seperate objects at the file level. So there are limits on what can be done, but those limits are set well passed the 640k mark. Additionally, these limits tend to increase from one version to the next. *all these numbers are taken from appendix C of the PDF specification* You're likely to run out of HD or RAM long before you run into most of these limits. --Mark Storer Software Engineer Cardiff Software #include <disclaimer> typdef std::disclaimer<Cardiff> Discard; > -----Original Message----- > From: Wil Paulk [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Thursday, July 10, 2003 12:21 PM > To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' > Subject: [PDFdev] Limit on annotations > > > > PDFdev is a service provided by PDFzone.com | http://www.pdfzone.com > _____________________________________________________________ > > Is there a limit on the number of annotations you can have in a PDF? > > To change your subscription: > http://www.pdfzone.com/discussions/lists-pdfdev.html > To change your subscription: http://www.pdfzone.com/discussions/lists-pdfdev.html
