Subject: Migration of Documents with annotations
Hi Akhila,
My task was with not sooo many (and not exotic) formats, mainly image formats and PDF.
That said, I used a commercial tool , the Document SDK from LeadTools. In the middle of my work (back in 2017) they implemented native P8 annotations support (in other words: they can process the P8 annotation XML), which was too late for me to use... :-(.
As I already hinted my experience is the same as yours: A lot of fine tuning to get the annotations to the right place. It might not be important if a text annotation is a few pixels off, but an arrow should really point at the correct object :-)
Hope this helps,
Gerold

Hello Gerold,
Hope all is well. Thank you so much for your response.
Yes, I am very sorry for not mentioning where my documents reside currently. I am trying to export documents along with annotations from CPE 5.5.10. Currently we have annotations for MS Office documents, Images, tiffs and PDF's. Your assumption is correct.
I have tried couple of java libraries like pdfbox, itextpdf for merging annotations with pdf documents (which do not create exact annotated document as it is displayed by Daeja Viewer, this work is in progress right now), I am still in process to figure out a way to merge annotations for other formats of documents. Assuming this is going to get very complex as I try to combine annotations for other formats, I am looking to see if we have an easier/simple way to download annotated documents for all formats. Can you please share more about how you have handled this request.
Thank you very much in advance!!!
Thank you!

As Claudia said you should at least mention your product suite ..
Regardless of backend I assume your problem is merging the document with its annotations at export time. I do not think there is an oob tool to do it, Daeja renders the document and the annotation as separate layers.
That said the oob annotations format is a documented XML and it should not be too hard to use a PDF tool to merge the two (there are not sooo many format options besides PDF and the common image formats). I done similar things in the past and most of the work goes into getting the coordinate system and offsets right.
Hope this helps,
Gerold

Hi All,
Hope all is well with you.
I have written a java application that downloads documents and annotations if available. I would like to understand how to migrate a annotated document from filenet as it is without downloading them separately.
Thanks a lot in advance!
