Is there a way to flatten comments/annotations using IPXC_Document?
Here's what I have so far.
Code: Select all
procedure TMyPDF.FlattenComments;
var
i, j, APageCount, AAnnotCount: Cardinal;
APage: IPXC_Page;
A: IPXC_Annotation;
begin
if Assigned(FDoc) then
begin
APageCount := GetPageCount;
for i := 0 to APageCount - 1 do
begin
FDoc.Pages.Get_Item(i, APage);
APage.GetAnnotsCount(AAnnotCount);
for j := 0 to AAnnotCount - 1 do
begin
APage.GetAnnot(j, A);
//How to do I flatten?
end;
end;
end;
end;

Hello Jeff,
The IPXC_Document::FlattenAnnotations method will be available from the next build. Meanwhile you can try the latest dev. build - this method will be included in it.

Also in current release you may use Editor's operation:

Thanks. That works.
But still waiting on next build for a few other items so curious to know if there is any work on the release date.

HI Jeff,
there is a great deal to do regards XFA still on 318 and at present we are looking at late August. As usual we reserve the right to change that as things develop.
I hope that helps.

Ok. I see you've added IPXC_Document.FlattenAnnotations.
But I still can't figure out how to make it work. How do I fill the IPXC_AnnotsList?
See my code below.
Code: Select all
procedure TMyPDF.FlattenComments;
var
i, APageCount: Cardinal;
APage: IPXC_Page;
AL: IPXC_AnnotsList;
begin
if Assigned(FDoc) then
begin
APageCount := GetPageCount;
for i := 0 to APageCount - 1 do
begin
FDoc.Pages.Get_Item(i, APage);
//How to I Fill the IPXC_AnnotsList???
FDoc.FlattenAnnotations(i, AL);
end;
end;
end;

Hi Jeff.
How to I Fill the IPXC_AnnotsList???
I'm afraid but it is impossible currently to obtain IPXC_AnnotsList-object. We'll add such feature in our regular technical build, and in next official build too.
In next few days we will fix/improve couple moments related to FlattenAnnotations:
1. FlattenAnnotations(pageIndex, null) - all annotations on the <pageIndex> will be flattened
2. FlattenAnnotations(pageIndex, annotList) - all annotations specified in <annotList> will be flattened, you are able to put into <annotList> annots from different pages. the <pageIndex> argument will be ignored in this case.
3. FlattenAnnotations(-1, nullptr) - all existing annotations in document will be flattened
Additionally the new features will be added too:
1. IPXC_Page::GetAnnotsList(IPXC_AnnotsList**) - will return list of annotations on the page
2. IPXC_Inst::CreateAnnotsList(IPXC_AnnotsList**) - will return empty list. It might be used for building custom annot-list and the flatten all of them as well.
Please wait for upcoming technical/official build..

It will be 319, approximately at the end of November.
Tomorrow, in the morning, you will be able to try our technical build with such new stuffs..

Will
FlattenAnnotations(pageIndex, null)
work now. That is really what I need. I will always want to flatten all comments on a page.

FlattenAnnotations(pageIndex, null)
It is not working in current official build. Currently it working only in technical build.

In trying this the comments were flattened but they were still listed in the Comments Pane in the Editor. Is there an event that needs to be fired to refresh the Comments Pane list?
I was able to flatten them all using this sample and that removed the listing in the comments pane also but it's not as clean of code.

Hello RMan,
It is better to use operations for the Editor SDK usage - they fire all of the events needed, fill the Undo\Redo data and do other things that you can be unaware of that are needed for proper Editor functionality. The operations take more code but they are safe for usage whilst the IPXC-level methods do not control the UI level and other events\methods should be fired\executed for the proper work.
Cheers,
Alex

The undo/redo reason makes sense and never even thought about that case. Thanks again.
