Apryse WebViewer Class: Annot

new Annot()

Annot is a base class for different types of annotations. For annotation specific properties, please refer to derived classes. An annotation is an interactive object placed on a page, such as a text note, a link, or an embedded file. PDF includes a wide variety of standard annotation types. An annotation associates an object such as a widget, note, or movie with a location on a page of a PDF document, or provides a means of interacting with the user via the mouse and keyboard. For more details on PDF annotations please refer to section 12.5 in the PDF Reference Manual and the documentation in derived classes.

Methods

<static> create(doc, type, pos)

Creates a new annotation of a given type, in the specified document. The newly created annotation does not contain any properties specific to a given annotation type, which means an invalid annotation object could be created. It is therefore recommended to always create an annotation using type specific methods, such as Annots::Line::Create() or Annots::FileAttachment::Create(). Users should only call Annot::Create() to create annotations of non-standard types that are not recognized by PDFTron software (by using Annot::e_Unknown as a type).

Parameters:

Name Type Description

doc Core.PDFNet.PDFDoc | Core.PDFNet.SDFDoc | Core.PDFNet.FDFDoc A document to which the annotation is added.

flatten(page)

Flatten/Merge the existing annotation appearances with the page content and delete this annotation from a given page. Annotation 'flattening' refers to the operation that changes active annotations (such as markup, widgets, 3D models, etc.) into a static area that is part of the PDF document, just like the other text and images in the document. Note: an alternative approach to set the annotation as read only is using Annot.SetFlag(Annot::e_read_only, true) method. Unlike Annot.SetFlag(...), the result of Flatten() operation can not be programatically reversed.

Parameters:

Name	Type	Description

Returns:

Type: Promise.<void>

getActiveAppearanceState()

Gets the annotation's active appearance state.

Returns:

	e_Redact : 25
	e_Projection : 26
	e_RichMedia : 27
	e_Unknown : 28
}
</pre>

getUniqueID()

Returns:

A promise that resolves to the unique identifier for this annotation, or NULL if the identifier is not available. The returned value is a String object and is the value of the "NM" field, which was added as an optional attribute in PDF 1.4.

Type: Promise.<Core.PDFNet.Obj>

getVisibleContentBox()

It is possible during viewing that GetRect does not return the most accurate bounding box of what is actually rendered. This method calculates the bounding box, rather than relying on what is specified in the PDF document. The bounding box is defined as the smallest rectangle that includes all the visible content on the annotation.

Returns:

A promise that resolves to the bounding box for this annotation. The dimensions are specified in user space coordinates.

Type: Promise.<Core.PDFNet.Rect>

isMarkup()

Return true if this annotation is classified as a markup annotation.

Returns:

A promise that resolves to boolean value, true if this annotation is classified as a markup annotation.

Type: Promise.<boolean>

isValid()

Returns:

A promise that resolves to true if this is a valid (non-null) annotation, false otherwise. If the function returns false the underlying SDF/Cos object is null or is not valid and the annotation object should be treated as a null object.

Type: Promise.<boolean>

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.

Returns:

Type: Promise.<void>

refreshAppearanceRefreshOptions( [options])

A version of RefreshAppearance allowing custom options to make slight tweaks in behaviour.

Parameters:

Name	Type	Argument	Description
`options`	Core.PDFNet.PDFDoc.RefreshOptions	<optional>	The RefreshOptions.

Returns:

Type: Promise.<void>

removeAppearance( [annot_state] [, app_state])

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

Parameters:

Name	Type	Argument	Description
`annot_state`	number	<optional>	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.

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.

Returns:

Type: Promise.<void>

setActiveAppearanceState(astate)

Sets the annotation's active appearance state. (Required if the appearance dictionary AP contains one or more subdictionaries; PDF 1.2)

Parameters:

Name	Type	Description
`astate`	string	Character string representing the name of the active appearance state. The string used to select the annotation's appearance state, which selects the applicable appearance stream from an appearance subdictionary.

Returns:

Type: Promise.<void>

setAppearance(app_stream [, annot_state] [, app_state])

Sets the annotation's appearance for the given combination of annotation and appearance states. (Optional; PDF 1.2)

Parameters:

Name	Type	Argument	Description
`app_stream`	Core.PDFNet.Obj		a content stream defining the new appearance.
`annot_state`	number	<optional>	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.

Returns:

Type: Promise.<void>

setBorderStyle(bs [, oldStyleOnly])

Sets the border style for the annotation.

Parameters:

Name	Type	Argument	Description
`bs`	Core.PDFNet.AnnotBorderStyle		New border style for this annotation.
`oldStyleOnly`	boolean	<optional>	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.

Returns:

Type: Promise.<void>

setColor(col [, numcomp])

Sets an annotation's color. (Optional; PDF 1.1)

Parameters:
