Hi,

For an existing GoTo type annotation (link to a page in the same document), how do I read the "zoom" level?

More precisely, I am interested if the zoom is "inherit".

Hi Zarko!

Please have a look for yourself in the online-reference
at section "annotations...".
If there's something useful in the sdk for your needs then it's there.
Please read the descriptions.

Cheers, Ingo

Ingo,

Did so already. But found nothing (or missed to find it).

Hi Zarko!

So what do you think this should mean ;-)
BTW: You can post this as a new wanted feature on the official support pages.

Cheers, Ingo

We'll be adding enhanced support for retrieving information about actions for annotation links in version 7.21. This will then give you the ability to retrieve the zoom settings for GoTo and GoToR actions. There will be a beta version publicly available sometime in the next week or two.

In http://www.quickpdflibrary.com/blog/2010/07/quick-pdf-library-7-21-beta-3-released/ - 7.21 beta 3 there are two new functions:

GetActionDest

GetAnnotDest

For hotspot annotations the destination can either be specified directly in the annotation or it can be specified via a GoTo action.

So, depending on the particular PDF, you can now do something like this:

var

ActionID: Integer;

DestID: Integer;

AnnotID: Integer;

begin

AnnotID := <something here to get the annotation>

DestID := QP.GetAnnotDest(AnnotID);

if (DestID = 0) then

begin

// The annotation does not have a destination

// specified directly, try get it via an action

ActionID := QP.GetAnnotActionID(AnnotID);

DestID := QP.GetActionDest(ActionID);

end;

if (DestID > 0) then

begin

Zoom := QP.GetDestValue(DestID, 5);

end;

If the Zoom value is zero it means that the zoom is not changed - I think that's what you meant by it being inherited.
