ImportAnnotationsFromFDF

Annotations and hotspot links

Description

Reads an FDF file containing an /Annots array, such as the files written by Acrobat with Export Comments to FDF, and imports each entry as a new annotation on the matching page of the selected PDF document. This is the file-based counterpart of ImportAnnotationsFromFDFString and shares its parsing behavior

Syntax

Delphi

Function TPDFlib.ImportAnnotationsFromFDF(Const FDFFileName: WideString): Integer;

Parameters

FDFFileName	Path to an FDF file containing an /Annots array of annotation entries

Return values

>= 0	The number of annotations added to the document; entries skipped because their /Page is outside the document or they have no /Subtype are not counted

Remarks

Imported annotations are added to the target pages; existing annotations are left untouched. Use ImportAnnotationsFromFDFString when the FDF data is already available in memory
