(I sent this to the Cocoa-dev list, and realized that the Quartz list
is probably a better choice, so sorry if you have received this
before...)
I have been experimenting with the PDFKit, and have run into some
roadblocks. Either there is some missing functionality, or I am
missing something. So far, specifically:
1.) PDFAnnotationButtonWidget - You can find out what controlType a
button widget is (kPDFWidgetUnknownControl, ,
kPDFWidgetPushButtonControl, kPDFWidgetRadioButtonControl,
kPDFWidgetCheckBoxControl) using
- (int)controlType
but could not find a (public) way to set the controlType.
2.) You can get the parentID of the PDFAnnotationButtonWidget, but
there is no way to set it. There is also no way to find out in the
current document what the current maximum object id is, so you aren't
stepping on a current object id. (From what I can see, if you make a
couple of PDFAnnotationButtonWidgets of type
kPDFWidgetRadioButtonControl, they need to have the same parentID for
the radio buttons to function radially (i.e. exclusively selected).)
3.) For a PDFAnnotationFreeText, the setColor: (defined in
PDFAnnotation) sets the background color. I could not find a method
that sets the text color of this class.
4.) Is there any way (now or planned) to get the path objects on a
pdf page? (i.e. to be able to detect the paths that draw a line or a
box on an existing page).
Just a few questions / items I have run into. Will probably find
more, but wanted to get feedback on these items.
