Hi @Dinkepile

You can try by using the Annotations API.

Hi Joe

 

Thanks so much for the response, i tired to check the above I am just not sure how to use it. But I will keep exploring it. Thanks

To use the Annotation API, you'll need to make a REST call. Are you familiar with cURL, Postman, or Python? Any of those can be used to create and make the call.

Years ago (20? 30?) we used FDF files to add annotations to PDF files that contained blank CRF pages. 

The content of the FDF files was generated from the metadata about the CRF.

 

To get it to work we either needed to know where on the page the fields were so the location could be programmed.  Or we had to have a manual step where the user would use Acrobat to drag the generated annotations to the proper place on the page.
