First, let me make sure I understand your goals correctly. You have PDF 1 which has annotations and you want to make a copy all the annotations over
to PDF 2.  If we can't figure that out, then the next best thing would be
to make bookmarks with named destinations with the text from the
annotation and have them point to the exact location where the annotation
was located.  Sound about right?


No, we need the comments to stay comments.


Well, I've never done anything with annotations, but assuming you can
iterate over them and get the text and location, it should be pretty
simple to build a document outline.  Hesham had a few nice posts on named
destinations which included some sample code.  Here's an example:
http://markmail.org/message/nbml3fzsdjn5kvbh (or just search the mailing
lists for "named destinations").  I haven't done any named destinations
with PDFBox, but I read up on ISO32000 to help Hesham, so I'm pretty good
at looking at the raw data with a text editor and tracing through to see
how everything is laid out and why it is or is not working.


Cool, thanks a lot for your thoughts! I've actually contributed to the
discussion on named destinations as I've used pdfbox to manipulate them
(though I was never able to rename them without problems). I'll definitely
give the annotations a whirl in pdfbox.

Re: editing, moving comments and bookmarks?



Adam,

Let's say you have a PDF to which some user has added comments. Then an
updated PDF is generated. I was thinking perhaps one could sync the user
generated annotations from the old PDF to the new one. Perhaps by using
named destinations?

Looks tough, but surely some one has needed to do this kind of thing?

Thanks,

Kevin
