How to extract comments without exporting file and UI

Hi Tracker Team,
Currently, I'm using DoVerb with "SummarizeAnnots" to get comments summary.
But it will create a physical file and have to load pdf in viewer.
I'm doing a simple search engine for searching both content and comments, is there any way that can extract comment page by page like extract normal content?

Hello Crimsonlogic,
Our PDF Tools SDK is a bit older and might not have all the features you need. Is it an option for you to use the Core API instead? I am confident it will be faster and easier to achieve this with the Core API than with the Tools SDK (if at all possible with Tools).
You can download and give the Core API a try here:

Thanks for your information.
Is there any C# example for getting annotation page by page with PDFXCoreAPI?

Hello crisonlogic,
Well, you can get the required annotation properties from the IPXC_Annotation interface:
https://sdkhelp.pdf-xchange.com/vie ... Annotation
You can get all of the page's annotations by using
https://sdkhelp.pdf-xchange.com/vie ... e_GetAnnot

Cheers,
Alex

According to the document, IPXC_Document is the interface of object of PDF-XChange Editor SDK.
So I have to use PDF-XChange Editor SDK, not only Core API SDK, right?

I am following this post for my purpose.
https://forum.pdf-xchange.com/ ... ge#p101345
According document
https://sdkhelp.pdf-xchange.com/view/PXV:IPXC_Pages
I can get correct Count property, but when I try to use pages.Item, will get build error.
Any suggestion?

My code:
Code: Select all
PDFXCoreAPI.PXC_Inst g_Inst = new PDFXCoreAPI.PXC_Inst();
g_Inst.Init(mykey);
IPXC_Document pDoc =g_Inst.OpenDocumentFromFile(inputfile,null);
IPXC_Pages pages = pDoc.Pages;
var pageCount=pages.Count;
I can get the page count, but how to do next to get annotation of every page?

Hello crimsonlogic,
Sorry for the late reply. Glad you found a solution. You can search the Editor SDK or the CoreAPI SDK forums for the keywords you need - right now they contain answers to many questions.
Cheers,
Alex.
