How can I store data in a PDF

[DavidThi_808]

Hi all;

First off, I have my plug in working (go me!). It doesn't do much, but it's running. In C#.

Question. I have some data I need to store in the PDF. This data is for the use of my plug-in only. It's ASCII (uuencoded). WHat/where is the best place to store it?

thanks - dave

Create a private dictionary, prefixed with your developer ID and then store whatever you need in that dictionary. You can store your ASCII encoded data as a string, or as a stream. The only important thing here is that the dictionary name you create needs to be prefixed with your developer ID so that your data cannot interfere with anybody else's data.

This is from the SDK documentation: Acrobat DC SDK Documentation
