JS: Modifying 3D annot via JavaScript

Question

Hi. I am a beginner in the JavaScript SDK of Acrobat.

I would like to change the size of the 3D annot but it seems the following piece of code is not working.

var pageIndex = this.pageNum;

var annotIndex = 0;

var aMy3DAnnots = this.getAnnots3D(pageIndex);

var RectArray = aMy3DAnnots[annotIndex].rect;

RectArray = [48, 200, 300, 193];

For fields, I have a similar piece of code and it works.

aObj = this.getAnnots({nPage:0});

aObj[0].rect = [48,100,300,193];

Is there anything that I am doing wrong?

Thank you very much for your guidance. Acrobat SDK@ !

The same applies for a RichMedia Annotation, by the way. The rect property is supposedly R/W, but changing its value doesn't affect the actual annotation.

HI,Although the property is marked as read/write in the documentation, changing it appears to have no effect on the 3D annot itself, where as changing it for a rect annotation, has the required effect.This looks like either a bug in the documentation, the property should be read only, or a bug in Acrobat, the rect should be changable but isn't.I can't think of any other way of changing the location using scripting.We could probably create a plugin using the Acrobat SDK that would be able to move the annotation, not sure if that would be an option, but wanted to include for your informationRegardsMalcolm
