Usage notes
This member returns no value
Usage notes
- Use this API in the document creation workflow before the affected page, resource, field or catalogue object is finalised
- ReadOnly (bit 7) only prevents user interaction; it does not affect programmatic modification of the annotation content
- Changes must be saved before they can be written to the output file
