Hi.

I have pdf files with lots of markups (rectangles, ovals) and would like to use Javascript to automatically change their fill color to none and line thickness to 2 pt. Can someone help me out with the code?

Thanks!

OK, here's what I got so far:

 

this.syncAnnotScan();
var annots = this.getAnnots();
for (var i = 0; i < annots.length; i++)
if (annots[i].type == "Circle" || "Square") annots[i].width = 2, annots[i].fillColor = color.transparent;

 

Now there is just one issue with this script, it also somehow applies the properties to polygon objects. When I run the script individually for circle and square, it works fine. When both are listed as above, the polygon gets changed, too.

OK, small syntax error. Here's the working script:

 

this.syncAnnotScan();
var annots = this.getAnnots();
for (var i = 0; i < annots.length; i++)
if (annots[i].type == "Circle" || annots[i].type == "Square") annots[i].width = 2, annots[i].fillColor = color.transparent;

You are very close. 

 

this.syncAnnotScan();
var annots = this.getAnnots();
for (var i = 0; i < annots.length; i++)
{
     if (annots[i].type == "Circle" || annots[i].type == "Square")
     {
            annots[i].width = 2;
            annots[i].fillColor = ["T"];
      }
}
