refreshAppearance()

Regenerates the appearance stream for the annotation. This method can be used to auto-generate the annotation appearance after creating or modifying the annotation without providing an explicit appearance or setting the "NeedAppearances" flag in the AcroForm dictionary. Note: If this annotation contains text, and has been added to a rotated page, the text in the annotation may be rotated. If RefreshAppearance is called *after* the annotation is added to a rotated page, then any text will be rotated in the opposite direction of the page rotation. If this method is called *before* the annotation is added to any rotated page, then no counter rotation will be applied. If you wish to call RefreshAppearance on an annotation already added to a rotated page, but you don't want the text to be rotated, you can do one of the following; temporarily un-rotate the page, or, temporarily remove the "Rotate" object from the annotation. To support users adding text annotations while using a PDF viewer, you can also add any viewer rotation to the annotations Rotate object, to have text always rotated correctly, from the users perspective.
Inherited From:
Returns:
Type
Promise.<void>

removeAppearance( [annot_state] [, app_state])

Removes the annotation's appearance for the given combination of annotation and appearance states.
Parameters:

PDFNet.Annot.State = {
	e_normal : 0
	e_rollover : 1
	e_down : 2
}
the annotation's appearance state, which selects the applicable appearance stream from the appearance sub-dictionary. An annotation can define as many as three separate appearances: The normal, rollover, and down appearance.
app_state string <optional>
 is an optional parameter specifying the appearance state (e.g. "Off", "On", etc) under which the new appearance should be stored. If appearance_state is NULL, the annotation will have only one annotation state.
Inherited From:
Returns:
Type
Promise.<void>

resize(newrect)

Scales the geometry of the annotation so that its appearance would now fit a new rectangle on the page, in user units. Users still have to call RefreshAppearance() later if they want a corresponding appearance stream to be generated for the new rectangle. The main reason for not combining the two operations together is to be able to resize annotations that do not have an appearance stream.
Parameters:
Name Type Description
newrect Core.PDFNet.Rect A reference to the new rectangle to which this annotation has to be resized.

 PDF manual specifies two ways to add border information to an annotation object, either through an array named 'Border' (PDF 1.0), or a dictionary called 'BS' (PDF 1.2) the latter taking precedence over the former. However, if you want to create a border with rounded corners, you can only do that using PDF 1.0 Border specification, in which case if you call SetBorderStyle() set the parameter oldStyleOnly to true. This parameter has a default value of false in the API and does not need to be used otherwise.
