Dear All, in my use case I need to place PDF annotations (stored in the source XML) on specific places (IDs) within the final PDF files. It can be done, but it requires some pre- and post-processing steps utilizing non-XML tools. While annotations are supported directly in some XSL-FO processors [1], the syntax is not standardized. Moreover, the available feature set is rather incomplete. There are several annotation types (icons) with different options, which means it would be a quite complex task to cover everything in the new syntax: http://wwwimages.adobe.com/www.adobe.com/content/dam/Adobe/en/devnet/pdf/pdf s/PDF32000_2008.pdf (Page 390) I've personally never used anything else than simple Text annotation, but when Adobe found others worth to implement, there was most likely some demand for this. Is something like this worth to elaborate by this PPL group? Thanks, Jan __________ [1] e.g. http://www.renderx.com/reference.html#PDF%20Note%20Annotations
