How to set Annotation Flags ?

[Marc Egenrieder]

In the documentation there are two methods:

'getFlag(string)'

https://www.pdftron.com/webviewer/demo/lib/html5/doc/symbols/Annotations.Annotation.html#getFlag__anchor

'setFlag(string, boolean)'

https://www.pdftron.com/webviewer/demo/lib/html5/doc/symbols/Annotations.Annotation.html#setFlag__anchor

but when actually working with annotations in Webviewer version 3.1.0, the functions don't seem to be present:

'.getFlag is not a function'

am I missing something or whats the deal here?

[Matt Parizeau]

It looks like these two functions aren't actually used so we'll remove them for the next release. There are particular annotation properties that you can access to set annotation flags (https://www.pdftron.com/webviewer/demo/lib/html5/doc/symbols/Annotations.Annotation.html#Annotation__anchor)

For example, Hidden, Printable, ReadOnly, etc.

Is there a particular annotation flag that you're looking for?

I wanted to set a custom Flag, because I wanted to add a new boolean field to annotations that also gets stored in the xfdf. The 'custom' field doesn't seem to be stored either. Is there any way to attach custom data to an annotation, to also be stored in that annotations xfdf?

Yep, see here for how to save and load a custom field https://groups.google.com/d/msg/pdfnet-webviewer/lptUPUcV80c/1NUgYZ_8AwAJ
