PDF Embed: GUID format, is not a standard GUID

We're using the Adobe generated annotation ID guid for records we're saving into our database.

 

Here is an example: 
"5b88956c-f62b-8c17-32h8-286beb8e8b5"

 

Which type of GUID format is this? It does not adhere to the UUID standard.

It appears this format is not adhering to the UUID standard. Can someone confirm which UUID standard the annotationId is?

    At this point its not critical that this be changed.  We had validations in our database that was expecting correctly formatted UUIDs. We've removed all validations on the annotatoinId field for now. 

     

    For the sake of consistancy, it would be nice to see this value use a community recongized standard.
