METHODS

$ant = PDF::API2::Annotation->new
    Returns an annotation object (called from $page->annotation).

$ant->link $page, %opts
    Defines the annotation as launch-page with page $page and options %opts (-rect, -border or 'dest-options').

$ant->url $url, %opts
    Defines the annotation as launch-url with url $url and options %opts (-rect and/or -border).

$ant->file $file, %opts
    Defines the annotation as launch-file with filepath $file and options %opts (-rect and/or -border).

$ant->pdfile $pdfile, $pagenum, %opts
    Defines the annotation as pdf-file with filepath $pdfile, $pagenum and options %opts (same as dest).

$ant->text $text, %opts
    Defines the annotation as textnote with content $text and options %opts (-rect and/or -open).

$ant->movie $file, $contentype, %opts
    Defines the annotation as a movie from $file with $contentype and options %opts (-rect).

$ant->rect $llx, $lly, $urx, $ury
    Sets the rectangle of the annotation.

$ant->border @b
    Sets the border-styles of the annotation, if applicable.

$ant->content @lines
    Sets the text-content of the annotation, if applicable.

$ant->open $bool
    Display the annotation either open or closed, if applicable.

$ant->dest( $page, -fit => 1 )
    Display the page designated by page, with its contents magnified just enough to fit the entire page within the window both horizontally and vertically. If the required horizontal and vertical magnification factors are different, use the smaller of the two, centering the page within the window in the other dimension.

$ant->dest( $page, -fith => $top )
    Display the page designated by page, with the vertical coordinate top positioned at the top edge of the window and the contents of the page magnified just enough to fit the entire width of the page within the window.

$ant->dest( $page, -fitv => $left )
    Display the page designated by page, with the horizontal coordinate left positioned at the left edge of the window and the contents of the page magnified just enough to fit the entire height of the page within the window.

$ant->dest( $page, -fitr => [ $left, $bottom, $right, $top ] )
    Display the page designated by page, with its contents magnified just enough to fit the rectangle specified by the coordinates left, bottom, right, and top entirely within the window both horizontally and vertically. If the required horizontal and vertical magnification factors are different, use the smaller of the two, centering the rectangle within the window in the other dimension.

$ant->dest( $page, -fitb => 1 )
    (PDF 1.1) Display the page designated by page, with its contents magnified just enough to fit its bounding box entirely within the window both horizontally and vertically. If the required horizontal and vertical magnification factors are different, use the smaller of the two, centering the bounding box within the window in the other dimension.

$ant->dest( $page, -fitbh => $top )
    (PDF 1.1) Display the page designated by page, with the vertical coordinate top positioned at the top edge of the window and the contents of the page magnified just enough to fit the entire width of its bounding box within the window.

$ant->dest( $page, -fitbv => $left )
    (PDF 1.1) Display the page designated by page, with the horizontal coordinate left positioned at the left edge of the window and the contents of the page magnified just enough to fit the entire height of its bounding box within the window.

$ant->dest( $page, -xyz => [ $left, $top, $zoom ] )
    Display the page designated by page, with the coordinates (left, top) positioned at the top-left corner of the window and the contents of the page magnified by the factor zoom. A zero (0) value for any of the parameters left, top, or zoom specifies that the current value of that parameter is to be retained unchanged.

$ant->dest( $name )
    (PDF 1.2) Connect the Annotation to a "Named Destination" defined elsewhere.
