6.1.5 Annotation Overview
Annotations are a way to attach additional information to a file.
Annotations, known collectively as “annotation marks”, may be text messages, graphical
symbols, or graphical markings. They are placed directly on the image using a special
annotation editor feature available on the PageScope Router user interface. This editor is used
to add, delete, or edit annotations.
Important!
When the button is clicked, the annotation editor will open and the editing
controls will be displayed on the Document Viewer as shown below.

The following are important points for using annotations.
• Annotation operations may only be performed on TIFF files. They are stored in the TIFF file itself
as annotation “tags”, but are not burned directly into the page image.
• Annotations cannot be added to files in folders the administrator has marked as “read only”.
• Only one user may perform an annotation operation on a particular document at any one time. If
the document is already in use by another user, a warning message will be displayed.
• Annotation may be performed on a document being viewed in the Document Viewer. It cannot be
performed in the thumbnail view.
• When a document is printed, the user can choose whether or not to print annotations.
