How to Create your own JavaScript for Annotations
This article demonstrates how to use JavaScript for annotations so you can get the most out of Foxit PDF SDK. Read on below for the 4 simple steps to get started.
Platform: Windows, Mac, Linux
Programming Language: C++, Java, C#, Objective-C, C
License Key requirement: Standard
SDK Version: Foxit PDF SDK 8.3
Step 1
LaunchURL: We will start by adding a link annotation to trigger the “launchURL” JavaScript to launch “https://webviewer-demo.foxit.com”
C++:
//launchURL JavaScript for link annotation.
void AddLinkAnnotForLaunchURL(PDFPage & page) {
page.AddText(L"https://webviewer-demo.foxit.com", RectF(50, 600, 200, 620), RichTextStyle());
page.GenerateContent();
// Add link annotation
Link link = (Link)page.AddAnnot(foxit::pdf::annots::Annot::e_Link, RectF(50, 600, 220, 620));
//This flag is used for printing annotations.
link.SetFlags(4);
link.SetHighlightingMode(Annot::e_HighlightingInvert);
// Appearance should be reset.
link.ResetAppearanceStream();
// Create a new JavaScript action.
actions::JavaScriptAction javascipt_action = (actions::JavaScriptAction)Action::Create(page.GetDocument(), Action::e_TypeJavaScript);
// Set Javascript
javascipt_action.SetScript(L"app.launchURL(\"https://webviewer-demo.foxit.com\", true);");
// Set action for link annotation
link.SetAction(javascipt_action);
}
C#.Net and .Net Core:
//launchURL JavaScript for link annotation.
static void AddLinkAnnotForLaunchURL(PDFPage page) {
page.AddText("Add a password text field", new RectF(50, 600, 200, 620), new RichTextStyle());
page.GenerateContent();
// Add link annotation.
using (Annot annot = page.AddAnnot(Annot.Type.e_Link, new RectF(50, 600, 220, 620)))
using (Link link = new Link(annot))
using (PDFDoc doc = page.GetDocument()) {
//This flag is used for printing annotations.
link.SetFlags(4);
link.SetHighlightingMode(Link.HighlightingMode.e_HighlightingInvert);
// Appearance should be reset.
link.ResetAppearanceStream();
//Create a new JavaScript action.
using (foxit.pdf.actions.Action action = foxit.pdf.actions.Action.Create(doc, foxit.pdf.actions.Action.Type.e_TypeJavaScript))
using (JavaScriptAction javascipt_action = new JavaScriptAction(action)) {

}
}
