    Sticky Note (Text annotation)

    joeln3 Community Member

      Hello,

       

      I decided to add some sticky notes (text annotation) in my pdf document and I was surprised to see that the sticky notes were not printed. I used the "Document and Markups" option for the print and even in the print preview the Sticky Notes were not present.

       

      Regarding the PDF Reference a sticky note is a Markup so it has to be printed.

       

      Is it a bug? A normal behavior?

       

      While I select the "Print notes and pop-ups" option in the Preferences - Commenting then the Sticky is printed (but also all notes and pop-ups

          The Preferences > Commenting > Print notes and popups option takes priority when printing sticky notes - if it's deselected, they don't print at all. If it's selected, sticky notes will print in whatever state they're in (collapsed or open) provided they don't have a non-print attribute set against them.

           

          Most people don't want stickies to print, as by their nature they are either collapsed (hence meaningless on paper) or will obscure some other part of the page. Text markups, stamps etc. can be printed without such issues, hence the above preference defaults to off.

            Thnaks for your answer Dave but in this case this is maybe not appropriate to write in the PDF Reference that Text, FileAttachment, Sound, ... are Markup annotations.

             

            Or maybe the option "Document and Markups" in the print dialog box is not correct.

             

            What's you opinion on this?

             

            Thanks in advance,
