Feedback for a PDF metadata field
by fbuue » February 12, 2022 - 19:05

Hello,

I want to propose adding a field that shows whether the PDF does contain any annotation. I mean a boolean value, that just says whether there are any. For Example a column "Annotations" which is either empty or contains the text "yes".

It would be even better if one could see the number of annotations.

I don't know whether this is possible and only want to propose it.

AKAIF PDF annotations are not "registered" in document index, so this will require a parsing of the whole file to detect them.
This will introduce an huge performance gap...

If I'm wrong, please point me to some docs about how to quickly detect PDF annotations (or references to them) in document index/metadata only (as PDFPropertyExtension actually does).
