Annotations

ApplicationXtender Web Access enables authorized users to attach annotations to ApplicationXtender document or batch pages to highlight important information, comment on the contents of the page, or block areas of the page from view. You can add annotations to images, text, and PDF files.

Note: If your user account includes annotation group options but does not give you individual annotation privileges, set the annotation group as the default to be able to use the annotation features. The ApplicationXtender system administrator can specify this setting for your user account in ApplicationXtender Administrator.

You can customize annotation properties to create the effects that you want. For example, you can change the line width and colors of annotations. Or you can use the filled setting with the redaction feature to make annotations opaque to block sections of a document from view. A show/hide feature enables you to view or hide annotations with a click. You can also save or delete annotations.

There is no limit to the number of annotations you can place on a page; however, many annotations might slow or distort page rendering.

In addition to placing multiple annotations on an image, you can overlap annotations, extending one annotation over another. A new annotation, if added to overlap an existing one, is placed on the top or front “layer” of the page. The existing annotation is placed on the bottom or back “layer” of the page.

Note: When overlapping annotations, create the annotations by using the redaction feature so that the colors appear opaque. Otherwise, the colors appear transparent and you might be unable to distinguish between the two annotations.
