Hi,
Thank you for replying. I did try using ImportXFDF. Unfortunately, this will only load the ³text² annotation and throws an IOException when any other annotation is encountered. Having had a look at the current trunk, I¹m not sure what the improvements should be. In the code regarding FDF/XFDF I don¹t see any significant changes.
