Text annotation "setQuads" method doesn't seem to work?

[Jeremy Warne]

According to the docs here: http://www.pdftron.com/webviewer/demo/lib/html5/doc/symbols/Annotations.TextHighlightAnnotation.html, it seems that text highlights should have a method called setQuads(quads) which, well, sets their quads. Only it doesn't seem to work for me. I can create a text highlight, then access it using am.GetAnnotationsList()[0] -- where am is my AnnotationManager. The resulting object is a text annotation, and has a property Quads, which is an array of Quads, but no method setQuads. I can edit the array of Quads directly, but the labels are all obfuscated so I can't just pass in an array of quads from, for instance, a search function or a call to Document.GetTextPosition().

Am I doing something wrong?

Cheers

Hi Jeremy,

Looks like the setQuads method on TextMarkupAnnotation is missing from the latest version.

We'll try to fix this in the next maintenance release, or in a custom build if you'd like.

In the mean time, you could try the following:

Use the "Quads" property as part of TextMarkupAnnotation, by setting it directly

e.g.

highlightAnnot.Quads = Document.GetTextPosition();
