Hello,

is it possible to check if a PDF page has no annotations like comments of Fill and Sign. I'm working with Adobe Acrobat and VBA.

I need a function with result =  false if there is no Comment or Fill and Sign on a page of a PDF document. I hope someone can help me with a little bit code.

Best Regards from Germany

Josua

You can use the VB Javascript bridge. Documentation is in the Acrobat SDK.

You don’t need to make and call a function. You can’t define functions through JSObject so far as I know.

The first parameter needs to be a Document object, not the path to one.


Or do I need a reference to Microsoft Script Control 1.0, too for a call of CheckAnnots?

With Acrobat Javascript you can test/check the annotations.
