PdfJs viewer support for PDF annotations #13

Open wabson opened 11 years ago

wabson commented 11 years ago

As per https://groups.google.com/d/topic/mozilla.dev.pdf-js/83mdVt7tXE4/discussion, the pdf.js viewer.js reference implementation supports annotations added to PDF files, e.g. using PDF Expert or similar mobile apps.

We should include this support in the Media Viewers viewer.

Hi, I want to know if you have already started working on this support in the Media Viewers ? Thanks.

No, there has been no work done to implement this feature.

Hi

I want to implement document annotation feature (add notes on document) for alfresco share. What could be the best idea for that work. It is possible to implement this feature with the flash preview (documents are converted to .swf with pdf2swf). Another choice is to add this feature on MediaViewers.

Also, I want to know

a) Will MediaViewers be a standard document viewer for Alfresco Share ? Any information/idea/talk could be useful.

b) Does MediaViewers convert files at each time that we try to preview them or just only once ? What about the performance of MediaViewers for the large documents ?, compared to flash option ?

Thank you
