Export multi-page documents with text box annotations?

asked on January 30, 2020

Is there any download format that supports a multi-page native document with the text box annotations included?

If I use PDF it will not include text box annotations

If I use TIFF it will only include the first page

What are you using to export the document? When I download pages as a PDF from the client, the text boxes are included in the resulting file (there's a setting for this if you click "options" on the file browser dialog, but it is for all annotations so text boxes shouldn't be handled any differently).

 

If you're using the SDK DocumentExporter, then you need to use the PdfExportOptions to specify what to do with the annotations, but textboxes should be treated the same as other annotations like stamps.

Hi Jason

On the document there is this text box type annotation that looks like this.

We are trying to convert a TIFF to a PDF so that it can support multiple pages outside of Laserfiche but I don't think converting text boxes is possible. Since the text box annotation is removed.

The resulting PDF is missing the annotation, maybe PDFs do not have a text box to be converted to.

If we just download it as an image, it works, but only supports 1 page.
