[jira] [Comment Edited] (PDFBOX-4773) Missing writeXML for FDFAnnotations

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-4773?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=17037522#comment-17037522 ]

Thank you; please submit diff / patch files against the trunk. Do not reformat the code parts that you didn't touch. Start with something small. We may need a CLA from you depending on the size / complexity of the patch. This will not go into the next release (2.0.19) that is next week, but (if it does) in the one after that.

I found an XFDF specification on google, but I'm not sure if the link is legal.

I wonder how to test this? Maybe start with a file that has these annotations, render, save the XFDF, delete the annotations, import XFDF, render, compare?

> Hi All,
>  
> I'm working on enhancement (contribution) for save annotations into XFDF file, though I cannot find the XFDF specification that are publicly available.
> It will be hard to implement properly otherwise for all the different types available, though I have partially developed it for line, circle and square.
>  
> Currently PDFBox does not have this capabilities, only has ability for form fields.
>  
> I'll upload the modified files once I've gotten to a break-point
>   
> Thank you,
> Andrew H
