Can some kind reader comment on PDF's Custom Annotation Types?
My objective is to programmatically insert several links of different types in my PDF files. I intend to have a type for voice phone numbers, another for fax numbers, and yet another company or client ID, etc.
The part below refers to a plugin (to be written).
Later on, when the user clicks on a phone number, a call will be placed, clicks on a fax number will result in the document being faxed, while a click on an ID will result on a database lookup.
I don't want to go through the hassle of studying the page's geometry to determine whether a phone number is voice or fax. I am just looking for a way to mark the different links, giving each one of them a type, which will be passed to the plugin upon a link being clicked.
TIA!
