GetFileAttachmentAnnotModificationDate Method (GdPicturePDF)
In This Topic
Gets the modification date of the embedded file (the attachment's modification date) associated with the specified annotation related to the currently selected page of the loaded PDF document. You need to identify the annotation object by its 0-based index, that is always related to the currently selected page.
Syntax
'Declaration
 
Public Function GetFileAttachmentAnnotModificationDate( _
   ByVal AnnotationIdx As Integer _
) As String
public string GetFileAttachmentAnnotModificationDate( 
   int AnnotationIdx
)
public function GetFileAttachmentAnnotModificationDate( 
    AnnotationIdx: Integer
): String; 
public function GetFileAttachmentAnnotModificationDate( 
   AnnotationIdx : int
) : String;
public: string* GetFileAttachmentAnnotModificationDate( 
   int AnnotationIdx
) 
public:
String^ GetFileAttachmentAnnotModificationDate( 
   int AnnotationIdx
) 

Parameters

AnnotationIdx
The 0-based index of the required annotation within the current page. It must be a value from 0 to GdPicturePDF.GetAnnotationCount-1.

Return Value

The modification date of the embedded file associated with the specified annotation. The GdPicturePDF.GetStat method can be subsequently used to determine if this method has been successful.
Remarks
This method is only allowed for use with non-encrypted documents.

It is recommend to use the GdPicturePDF.GetStat method to identify the specific reason for the method's failure, if any.

Please always ensure that you have selected the correct page using the GdPicturePDF.SelectPage method before applying an annotation index.
