Import/Export annotations to FDF/JSON format #2291

Closed mah-emad closed 11 months ago

mah-emad commented 11 months ago

Support importing/exporting annotations to FDF format or json format.

For me this sounds like something which is better suited in https://github.com/py-pdf/pdfly.

MartinThoma commented 11 months ago

We could already export annotations in JSON format in pdfly. We could make imports also work in pdfly.

For FDF, we would need the basis in pypdf.

MartinThoma commented 11 months ago

FDF was already mentioned here: https://github.com/py-pdf/pypdf/discussions/1181

I'm closing this issue as there is nothing to do in pypdf.

MartinThoma commented 11 months ago

@mah-emad Would adding the import/export feature to pdfly solve your issue?

mah-emad commented 11 months ago

@MartinThoma Yes, I can use pdfly for import/export. does pdfly support exporting annotations/signatures to JSON already?

MartinThoma commented 11 months ago

Not so far, but we can add that :-)

At the moment, this is possible:
