downloadPdf question

Carlo, I did get this resolved. The problem was related to my assigning a value to elementName, as you suspected.

myAnnot.elementName =  'ilr-approve';

In comparing the xfdf between programmatically added annotations vs webViewer UI added annotations, I noticed that the annotations I added, despite appearing in the tag , were not being being included in the downloadPDF() call. See xfdf snippet below:

<annots>
	<ilr-approve ... >	// elementName that I added
		<contents>My added Content</contents>	
	</ilr-approve>
	
	<freetext  ...>		// elementName webViewer UI added
		<contents> My added Content	</contents>
	</freetext>
</annots>

A few other things:

  1. I didn’t need to use set/getCustomData in the setContents call.
  2. I did use setCustomData though in place of elementName as you suggested to help me name my annotations
  3. I would never have thought that using the elementName property would have caused this, I’m not really sure of it’s purpose.
  4. Also, I would have assumed that any annotations included in the annots section of the xfdf would have been merged into the downloaded PDF.

Thanks for your help with this.
