THotPDF.ImportLoadedAnnotationsFromXFDF Method

Syntax

function ImportLoadedAnnotationsFromXFDF(const AFileName: TFileName): Integer;

Parameters

AFileName: TFileName

The file name of the XFDF annotation data to import

Return Value

Returns the number of annotations successfully imported. Missing files, malformed XFDF, unsupported elements and incomplete annotation entries return zero for those entries

Authenticated current revisions

Modern Windows imports validate Standard-handler user permissions, the current dirty graph, CMS integrity, DocMDP and FieldMDP locks before committing an actual annotation change

An ordinary authenticated load retains a private document-bound credential context, so permitted dirty AES imports do not require a second password

Policy rejection, budget exhaustion or cancellation raises an exception and rolls back the import while preserving earlier caller edits

The mapped link profile includes remote GoToR file and destination data without executing the action
