I have a lot of PDF files with countless free text annotation. I try to use Javascript to batch modify the format of the annotation to make it bold and set the font to Times New Roman. I refer the detail API information in this (https://www.adobe.com/content/dam/acom/en/devnet/acrobat/pdfs/AcrobatDC_js_api_reference.pdf).
I tried the following method:
var annt = this.getAnnots(1)[0]app.alert(annt.textFont)annt.textFont = "TimesNewRomanPSMT" var spans = new Array();spans[0] = new Object();spans[0].text = annt.contents;spans[0].textColor = color.red;spans[0].textSize = 24;spans[0].alignment = "center";spans[0].fontWeight = 800; //set boldspans[0].textFont = "TimesNewRomanPSMT"annt.richContents = spans
This gave me the bold text, but the font changed to Arial and cannot set the font back to Times New Roman...
So, I tried another way...
var annt = this.getAnnots(1)[0] var span = annt.richContents span[0].fontWeight = 800 //set boldannt.richContents = span
However, this does nothing...
Is this a bug?
Can anyone suggest good methods to do this? It is difficult to change the format one by one... Thank a lot!

You have to re-apply the spans array to the richContents property of the Annotation at the end of your code.
See the first code you found.
