Description
Hi Horst,
thank you for creating this great tool.
Unfortunately I can't use it to remove all annotations in the pdf file (or on a particular page) at once.
Let's assume I want to remove all of five annotations on page 414 of my test.pdf:
harald:~/test$ pdfcpu annot remove -pages 414 test.pdf
writing test.pdf...
optimizing...
pages: 414
removing all annotations for selected pages!
pdfcpu: validateObjectReferenceDict: missing required entry "Obj"
The five annotations, however, are beautifully listed:
harald:~/test$ pdfcpu annot list -pages 414 test.pdf
optimizing...
pages: 414
4 annotations available
Page 414:
Popup:
obj# rect id content
======================================
1974 (349, 244, 529, 364) -> #1968
Text:
obj# rect id content
=========================================================
1963 ( 92, 151, 102, 166) ujABwuq5sSWDqo07nwvCoB
1966 (167, 222, 256, 237) WmaKX6_0mBTNBWUR-L-A-B
1968 (112, 349, 145, 364) 0Lbf4N1s7BrBN5inxKM2RC
and I can remove them by manually giving the obj#'s:
harald:~/test$ pdfcpu annot remove test.pdf 1974 1963 1966 1968
writing test.pdf...
optimizing...
No error, and they are gone:
harald:~/test$ pdfcpu annot list -pages 414 test.pdf
optimizing...
pages: 414
0 annotations available
I'm using the latest version:
harald:~/test$ pdfcpu version
pdfcpu: v0.6.0 dev
commit: dae09ebf (2024-01-30T10:04:31Z)
base : go1.21.6
config: /home/harald/.config/pdfcpu/config.yml
on debian sid:
harald:~/test$ uname -a
Linux <hostname> 6.6.11-amd64 #1 SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Debian 6.6.11-1 (2024-01-14) x86_64 GNU/Linux
It seems like pdfcpu finds all obj#'s but does not pass them correctly to the routine that deletes them.
Thanks in advance for looking into it.
Cheers
harald
