    How to insert annots in the content of the page

    joeln3 Community Member

      Hello,

       

      I tried to insert the annotations in the content of my page but I didn't find a method to do that in the SDK.

       

      I want to move the annotations in the content to allow the annotations to be scaled, shifted with the content. Of course I will not use the annotations after moving them into the content of my page (no popup, no interaction and no modification).

       

      Is there a way to do this using the SDK or do I have to implement the method?

       

      Thanks in advance,

      Joe

          Do you mean "flattening" annotations, so that they are no longer annotations but instead are simple contents?

           

          If so, then the only APIs for that are via PDDocOptimize() (aka calling the PDF Optimizer) or via Preflight.

           

          Alternatively, you do it yourself (which isn't difficult assuming all annots have Appearance dicts).
