Hi Neha, 

At present we do not have support for retrieving the review status present in the Free text annotation with its contents.  We have created the feature request for the same and we have no immediate plan for implementing this feature. We will let you know once this feature is implemented. 

Regards, 

Karthikeyan

Hi I’m a bit confused by what you’re saying?  Are you basically saying you won’t be implementing this feature?  Or you have added it to the queue of items to be developed but can’t give us any indication of when this would happen?  The annotations state is a PDF standard, see picture below.  Unfortunately this is very important in our project and if  your software doesn’t provide this basic feature we will have to look at another vendor.

Hi Raymond, 

Greetings from Syncfusion. 

As per your request, we have considered to implement the feature to retrieve the Review history present in the Free text annotation from PdfLoadedDocument with all its status and content. This usability feature will be included in our 2019 Volume 1 release which is estimated to be available by March 2019 tentatively.  

Can you please let us know if there is additional requirement other than this with more information so that we will implement the same in our side? also please provide any sample PDF which is used for this parsing process at your end. This information will be helpful for us to provide a feature which fulfills your requirement.  

Please let us know if you need any further information. 

Regards, 

Dilli babu.

Thank you for sharing requested input PDF, we will make use of the shared PDF to implement the feature for “Retrieve the review history present in the Free text annotation from PdfLoadedDocument”. As we said earlier we will include this usability feature from our Essential Studio 2019 Volume 1 release.
