Cargo.toml	M6.1/M6.2: form filling: new fonts (L2) and forms (L3) crates; field tree with inheritance, widgets, options; set_value with validation and regenerated appearances (auto-size, comb, multiline, password, quadding, /MK, combo, list selection), check/radio states (own AP when missing), reset to /DV; engine SetFieldValue/ResetForm with fill-forms permission; UI in-place editor (Enter/click-away commit, Escape, Tab with select-all), check/radio toggle, choice popup, Clear form; tools form_fields/form_fill/form_reset. Perf: named destinations indexed once (190 MB manual opens in 1.8 s instead of 172 s); comment and form edits refresh view data from the object graph instead of a full re-inspection (6x faster per edit on large files; equivalence-tested). annot uses the shared fonts helpers. Docs, parity, roadmap.	2026-10-01 22:37:35 -04:00
README.md	M5.1/M5.2: comments engine: new annot crate (L3) with builders and appearance streams for sticky note, highlight, underline, strikeout, squiggly, rectangle, oval, line/arrow, ink, text box; reply, review status, move, resize, restyle, delete (with pop-ups and replies); undoable engine edits with /NM ids and dates, annotate-permission check; inspector reports index, state, quads; 6 automation tools (comment_list/add/reply/set_status/edit/delete, highlight by text search)	2026-10-01 20:44:19 -04:00

printcraft-annot

Comments (annotations), ISO 32000-2 §12.5. Layer L3, depends only on printcraft-cos.

What it does

Builders for the comment types Acrobat's commenting tools create: sticky note (Text + Popup), highlight, underline, strikethrough, squiggly, rectangle (Square), oval (Circle), line and arrow (Line with /LE), freehand drawing (Ink) and text box (FreeText).
Appearance streams (appearance::build) generated from the annotation dictionary, so new and restyled comments look the same in every viewer. Highlights multiply (/BM /Multiply). Note icons are PrintCraft's own drawings. Text boxes use standard Helvetica (WinAnsi), with line breaking by approximate Helvetica proportions (no font program is bundled).
Edits: reply (/IRT), set review status (a /State reply, as Acrobat's "Set status" does), change text, move, resize, restyle, delete (with pop-up and replies).

API sketch

let index = add_annotation(&mut doc, &NewAnnotation { page, shape, style, contents, author }, &meta)?;
add_reply(&mut doc, page, index, "Agreed", "Ada", &meta)?;
set_review_state(&mut doc, page, index, ReviewState::Accepted, "Ada", &meta)?;
move_annotation(&mut doc, page, index, dx, dy, &meta)?;
set_style(&mut doc, page, index, Some(rgb), Some(0.5), Some(2.0), &meta)?;
delete_annotation(&mut doc, page, index)?;

A comment is addressed by (page, index in /Annots), the same pair printcraft_render::Annotation reports. Meta carries the date and the /NM id so edits stay deterministic; the engine supplies them.

Fidelity rules

Unknown keys are kept. Inline annotation dictionaries are promoted to indirect objects only when an edit needs a reference to them.
set_style refuses (and changes nothing) when it cannot redraw the comment, e.g. stamps, cloudy borders or callouts, instead of leaving a stale appearance.
Replies get the parent's /Rect and an empty appearance: they appear in comment lists but never paint a second icon.

Not yet

Callouts, polygons and polylines, clouds, carets (insert/replace text), stamps, file attachments, rich text (/RC, /DS), and the shared named-appearance cache Acrobat writes.
