Annotations with Object Data

[John_Haadera@adobeforums.com]

I've made an annotation a child of a structure element, but I can't use the Object Data Tool to select the annotation from the page to view its attribute like I can with marked contents in the content stream.

Are annotation structure elements simply not supported by the Object Data Tool? I can't get the red outline to appear around the annotation when I select its parent structure element in the Model Tree either.

Annotations aren't something you can put in the structure of a document, so I am not really understandign what you need (or are even trying to do).

Can you post a sample PDF and explain your goal?

Sorry, I am not very good with the PDF terminologies. Isn't the "Annot" structure type precisely for annotations? I just want the user to be able to use the Object Data Tool to select the rendered annotation (in this case a polyline) and see the attributes of its structure element.

Please post an actual PDF - fragments aren't helpful :(.

Example: <http://www.2shared.com/file/4670780/7648b8b4/annots.html>

Left square is an annotation. Right square is a marked content. I can't use the Object Data tool on the annotation.

Any ideas? Has anyone seen an annotation with object data?
