Thanks for the info Leonard. Do you know if any one has developed any FDF toolkit extensions that might deal with annotations, etc. -----Original Message----- From: Leonard Rosenthol [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, October 21, 2003 10:01 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [PDFdev] Annotations and FDF Toolkit PDFdev is a service provided by PDFzone.com | http://www.pdfzone.com _____________________________________________________________ At 3:19 PM -0400 10/21/03, CAIRNS Robert -NUCLEAR wrote: >I am starting to work using dynamic annotations in our web based work >flow tool.

Either building them yourself in the FDF OR you could add JavaScript to the FDF and the JS would create the Annots on loading... >If I add create the FDF file using the toolkit, is there a simple way >to add an annotation dictionary to the file without having to re-parse >the results generated by the toolkit , using code outside of the >toolkit? If you go the route of "native" FDF annots, I can't think of a way other than what you suggest. If you go the JS route, those can be added via the FDFToolkit's JS calls.
