I'm having trouble figuring out how to get the Javascript from the Annotations in a PDF like the one in the following link.

http://ge.tt/71ev1OO/v/0?c - http://ge.tt/71ev1OO/v/0?c

The Annotations/Links are on the part numbers. Page 4 of the document has several.

The GetAnnotStrProperty(XXX, 101) returns "Link" but GetAnnotStrProperty(XXX, 102) is a null string.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Retrieving the Javascript is currently not implemented. I will see if we can add it for the next 9.12 beta release.

Oh shoot... I need this right away. How soon do you think it will be added?

Any alternative way to get this?

It will be released with the next beta. If you had a source code version I might be able to release the patch to you. We expect 9.12 beta 1 to be about a week or so away. I can't make promises about that date though.

There are no workarounds as each AnnotStr property is stored in a different key and structure.

I did buy the Source Code License years ago. The last version of the source code I have is v6.02.

I don't believe that was an official release. It was before Debenu bought everything.

Debenu PDF Library 9.12 beta 1 has just been released which has the new code.

The new beta can be downloaded from here

Option 134 has been added.

QP.SetAnnotStrProperty(1, 134, "app.alert('NEW ALERT');");

string s = QP.GetAnnotStrProperty(1, 134);

Hi Jaime!

If you have a source licence then it's the last one from Kevin Newman (version 5.11?).
The version 6.02 was a modified version from the former user group working between Kevin and before Debenu ;-)
If you want the new version you should buy an update via the official pages:

Ok... Thanks Ingo for the info.

I'll check out the new beta release as well.

Yes, I know it is very old thread, but it has important information. I would like to ask how to use SetAnnotStrProperty. The following command:

string s = QP.GetAnnotStrProperty(1, 134);

works fine in Debenu Quick PDF v13, even thought Option 134 is absent.
However,
QP.SetAnnotStrProperty(1, 134, "app.alert('NEW ALERT');");

doesn't work at all. So, how do I change JavaScript code in annotations?

Here you can read which tags are possible using SetAnnotStrProperty:

http://www.debenu.com/docs/pdf_library_reference/SetAnnotStrProperty.php

So it's clear that 134 won't work.

The Get-function works but without guarantee - a hidden feature ... not official.

So is there an unofficial version of SetAnnotStrProperty to set JavaScript, too?

no.
