"Unsupported Annotations" are the annotation types that are available in Adobe Acrobat as well as other PDF editors that have the annotation feature but are not supported for editing in Embed API. These include but are not limited to rectangles, ovals, arrows, and lines.

i already tried it and ... it doesn't look "perfect", it blinks....

so I understood you, I just thought, suddenly I missed something in the documentation (caught on "unsupported annotations")

Thanks anyway! I'm looking forward to updates to this great tool!


Yeah - it blinks. I've requested a "locked" property for annotations. I'm not sure if or when that would be coming though.
