Hi,
I am a newbie in the world of PDF/FDF and need some guidance. I am trying to
convert FDF file (that primarily consist of annotations) to XFDF as part of an
upgrade process where the application only supports XFDF. Are there any tools
available to do the conversion or would I have to come up with the utility.
I downloaded PDFBox with the hope that I would parse the FDF files and then
read
through each annotation and then create the XFDF file with the appropriate XFDF
elements. I was able to load the FDF document but I am not sure how to retrieve
the dictionary object after I have the FDFDocument/COSDocument. When I do make
a
getObjects() call on the COSDocument and print them I get the object number and
generating number (e.g. COSObject 36, 0). How do I retrieve the annots/annot
objects within these objects? When I do a getDictionaryObject("Annots"), I get
a
null value back? I am kind of lost here so any help would be appreciated. I
would need to know how to get the COSDictionary object as that seems to be the
key to use FDF specific classes.
I am attaching a sample FDF.
Thanks,
Ravi
