Collab object and plugins

Hi,

I am using "Collab.addStateModel" to create my own state model to categorize my comments within a pdf.

It is working nicely for all annotation objects created by Acrobat's native comment tools.

But for my own comment tool plugins (C/C++ API) the "show/hide by status" function does not work properly. But the status is displayed correctly within the comment navigation pane.

Is this behavior a restriction in the JS API or a bug of my plugins?

This is really a developer question. You should try asking it on the Adobe User to User forums.

However, in cases like this, Acrobat JavaScript doesn't so much restrict functionality, it simply doesn't implement it.

I don't know if the custom state model functionality in JavaScript is availible to custom annotation handlers in a plug-in. If it is, there should be a callback or property so you handler can handle it. If it's not in the SDK reference then it probably doesn't exist.

Thanks.

I did not find a direct hint to the required callback in the sdk documentation. But I hope for a positive reply by the sdk user forum.
