Use this table if you want to map annotations and comments from an Adobe PDF to FrameMaker. The following tables lists this mapping.
| Annotation in PDF document | FrameMaker mapping | |
| 1. | Underline | Underline with foreground color Blue |
| 2. | Highlight | Underline with foreground color Cyan |
| 3. | Comment on highlighted text | Underline with foreground color Cyan and a marker(of type "comment") at the end containing the comment as marker text |
| 4. | Sticky note | Marker of type "comment" |
| 5. | Inserted text | Track Text Edit inserted text |
| 6. | Deleted text | Track Text Edit deleted text |
| 7. | Replaced text | Track Text Edit replaced text |
Note: The underline and highlight comments are applied as conditional text.
- Tag name for underline: FM_PDF_Comment_Underline
- Tag name for highlight: FM_PDF_Comment_Highlight
The markers are tracked (irrespective of whether the Track Text Edits is enabled by the user or not).
Although the colors for underline (blue) and highlight (Cyan) will be hard coded, they are inserted as conditional text and will be configurable by the user through the FrameMaker user interface.
Once you have set the properties of the conditional tag (e.g. color), they will not be overridden by the filter (in case of another cycle of importing PDF comments).
If you delete the conditional tag from the document, then whenever comments are imported in this document from PDF in future, a new tag will be created with default properties.
WARNING: Deleting tags from FrameMaker will result in loss of imported comments, it is recommended that you SHOULD NOT EDIT/DELETE THESE CONDITIONAL TAGS unless you intend to remove the comments from the document.
