PDF Annotation

PDF Annotation allows users to add annotations and markups to PDF documents from within the IQdesktop client without the need for third party tools.  In order to use this feature, the ImageQuest user must have the “Annotate Document Image” permission.  To create a new annotation, right-click on a .PDF file and select “Annotate” from the menu or from the “Document” tab click the “Annotate” button.

The three tabs along the left allow the user to switch between thumbnail view, bookmarks, and a list of annotations on the document.  Once the document has been saved, it will become the latest revision and the new active document when viewing the image.

Note:  Annotations cannot be edited nor deleted once the document has been saved.

The following table describes the ribbon buttons that are used in the document editor:

PDF Annotation also allows users to insert PDF pages before or after existing pages in the document.  To do so, the user can right-click on a page and select “Insert pages before…” or “Insert pages after…”.  This will open an Open PDF File dialog and the user can browse for and select the PDF they wish to insert as an additional page or pages to existing document.

In the example below, Insert pages before is selected and the user locates and selects the Invoice – Supplement PDF file from their local system.  To insert, they click “Open”.

As shown below, the Invoice – Supplement PDF has been inserted into the existing document as Page 1 and the original page is now page 2.

Once the document has been saved, it will become the latest revision and the new active document when viewing the image.

Note:  The insert pages feature supports single and multi-page PDF file
