I would like to have FME gather the comments from a .pdf including linework showing the area on the page the comment is referring to. FME doesn't seem to recognize the redline revision cloud. I was able to get at the comments by converting the .pdf to an .fdf and reading it into FME as textline, then regexing specific character combinations in the text attribute. Now I am after the graphics related to the comments... Has anyone had any success with this sort of thing?

In .pdf... Revision request comments are tied to an area of interest shown by a red revision cloud...

 

In FME universal viewer... cloud graphic from .pdf does not show.

 

Any ideas and suggestions are appreciated. Thanks.

Hi @olpotosi.

Thank you for posting this issue, unfortunately, this feature is not supported at this moment in time. I would suggest adding a vote to this Idea https://knowledge.safe.com/content/idea/91122/extract-geometries-from-the-annotations-of-a-pdf.html. Also if you have any other ideas I would suggest posting if you feel they would be good additions to FME.
