import annotation file

asked on October 18, 2017 Show version history

I am using the SDK to convert images from another vendor to LaserFiche.  They have TIF images for the main document and they use a separate Annotation (.anno) file that hold redactions and such.  I can get the TIF image to import correctly, but I don't know what to do with the .anno file to get the redactions to show up.

There isn't a standard annotation file format, you'll need to get the specification for the .anno file from the vendor.  Once you can read what annotations are present, you can use the Laserfiche SDK to create them in the repository.

I was really hoping to leave the other vendor out of the process. They are a pain and that is why we are replacing them.  If I can figure out the format, how can I use the SDK to import the .anno file to attach to the TIF?

Your code would get a reference to the relevant PageInfo object and add an annotation object that you've created, like a HighlightAnnotation or a FreehandAnnotation.
