How do I handle a multi-page TIFF with annotations? The annotation is appended as another page but does not necessarily correspond to the page of the TIFF it was done upon.

The majority of our customer base requires separation of annotation and images, thus the reason for its current design. Therefore, if your TIFF file has pages 1 and 3 with annotations, then the corresponding annotation file would also need pages 1 and 3 to synchronize the two files. There are several approaches to you can take:

1. Place a dummy annotation for page 2 and 4 which forces synchronization.

2. Maintain an additional file such as an XML file which maps the TIFF pages and annotation file together.

3. Use database entries where a DBMS is used to store the TIFF files and annotation files. To store the TIFF image files and annotation files into a database, load them into a PB BLOB datatype and use UPDATEBLOB embedded SQL in your Powerscript.
