I am starting to work using dynamic annotations in our web based work flow tool. The intent is to allow users to open the PDF documents (drawings in this case) and have the server add annotations that reflect current updates about the some of information in the document.
OK.
I know that annotations can be added using FDF, and while we haven't used the FDF toolkit for our web server work up until now, given the added complexity of annotations, I figured I would revisit it to see if there was API level support for creating annotations, like there is for fields.
I don't believe there are APIs in the FDFTk for creating annotations.
I've searched through the documentation, but I can't see any support for them. Can anybody point me in the right direction, or do I have to build the annotations myself?
Either building them yourself in the FDF OR you could add JavaScript to the FDF and the JS would create the Annots on loading...
If I add create the FDF file using the toolkit, is there a simple way to add an annotation dictionary to the file without having to re-parse the results generated by the toolkit , using code outside of the toolkit?
If you go the route of "native" FDF annots, I can't think of a way other than what you suggest. If you go the JS route, those can be added via the FDFToolkit's JS calls.
