Created attachment 121977 [details] Patch to add -noannotate option to pdftocairo I was looking for a way to prevent pdftocairo from drawing PDF form fields when rendering to a bitmap, and came up short. The attached patch adds a -noannotate flag which does this. (Thanks to jcrain from IRC for pointing me toward the appropriate internals!)
Instead of an option for turning off annotations I would prefer a more general option for controlling annotations. The glib api has print options: * POPPLER_PRINT_DOCUMENT: print main document contents * POPPLER_PRINT_MARKUP_ANNOTS: print document and markup annotations * POPPLER_PRINT_STAMP_ANNOTS_ONLY: print document and only stamp annotations * POPPLER_PRINT_ALL: print main document contents and all markup annotations We could adde a "-annotate=xxx" type of option. eg -annotate=[none|markup|stamp|all] with the default (when -annotate is not specified) to print no annotations. I'm not sure if it would also be useful to be able to specify a list of specific annotations. eg -annotate=watermark,printermark,trapnet But this could easily be added later if someone found a need for it.
