You are basically on your own (or starting from any of those various tools you mention) to present to the user your own UI for commenting on a PDF.
However, since Adobe Acrobat works just fine inline in the browser - I guess I don't understand why that doesn't work?

Ideally, there would be a standard toolbar with options that we limit to highlighting, rectangles, notes, etc. They would use the toolbar within the web app to add, edit and remove annotations to PDF documents (resulting in similar behavior to that in Adobe Professional, which they have BTW, but don't want to download the file, annotate in Professional, and upload it ---they want it all in the web app). We would retrieve from and then save the PDF documents and annotations to the database. I see how iText allows you to program the annotations but am having difficulty figuring out how to capture the annotation details from the end users. I've looked at the Adobe SDK to work with iText, but haven't really found a solution. It seems that I would need to code events to capture the annotation details, including the coordinates. From what I can tell, it doesn't look like iText will provide the functionality to capture the annotation details from the user. I've also looked into tools like jPDFNotes, Prizm, and RasterMaster, to allow end users to add their own annotations, but so far haven't been completely satisfied with the solutions. Does anyone have any suggestions that I could look into further? -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Capturing-user-events-to-add-annotations-tp24905917p24905917.html Sent from the iText - General mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Let Crystal Reports handle the reporting - Free Crystal Reports 2008 30-Day trial.
