Converting xfdfx annotations to fdf annotations

Hi,

I am using your PDFNet Java library demo for a proof of concept to
convert xfdf annotations to a fdf annotation. I am using the FDFDoc
classes to create a FDFDoc from a xfdf file and saving it to a fdf
file. The resultant fdf file does not have any annotations in it and
in fact acrobat complains that the file is corrupted.

Is there a different way to convert the xfdf annotations to fdf
annotations?.

Please let me know

At the moment FDFDoc.CreateFromXFDF() does not support loading annotation elements.

Since XFDF is a simple XML format you could use Java XML API (http://java.sun.com/developer/codesamples/xml.html) to load XFDF data and use FDFDoc to create and serialize FDF (similar to SDF sample - http://www.pdftron.com/pdfnet/samplecode.html#SDF). To inspect the contents of existing FDF you can use free CosEdit utility (http://www.pdftron.com/pdfcosedit/downloads.html).
