Revision as of 00:18, 2 March 2016

Overview

The operation allows to convert annotations into the pages content.

Parameters

Sample

//C#
private void FlattenSquareAnnotations(PDFXEdit.IPXV_Document Doc, PDFXEdit.PXV_Inst Inst)
{
	PDFXEdit.IPXS_Inst pSInt = (PDFXEdit.IPXS_Inst)Inst.GetExtension("PXS");
	uint nSquareAtom = pSInt.StrToAtom("Square");
	int nID = Inst.Str2ID("op.annots.flatten", false);
	PDFXEdit.IOperation Op = Inst.CreateOp(nID);
	PDFXEdit.ICabNode input = Op.Params.Root["Input"];
	//Filling the operation with the annotations that need to be flatten
	for (uint i = 0; i < Doc.CoreDoc.Pages.Count; i++)
	{
		PDFXEdit.IPXC_Page page = Doc.CoreDoc.Pages[i];
		uint nCnt = page.GetAnnotsCount();
		for (uint j = 0; j < nCnt; j++)
		{
			PDFXEdit.IPXC_Annotation annot = page.GetAnnot(j);
			//In our case it's square annotations
			if (annot.Type == nSquareAtom)
				input.Add().v = annot;
		}
	}
	PDFXEdit.ICabNode options = Op.Params.Root["Options"];
