Hello,

want to develop a custom annotation plugin to draw a line or a polyline. Therefore i'd like use the standard tools like Pencil and Polyline, because their behavior is right what i need. I just want to set a different color and a special status.

So what i want to do is create 3 buttons (not the problem), for example to use the pencil tool, which all have individual color and status preset.

Is it possible to call those standard tools an set the desired properties up front?

I use Acrobat 8.1.3.
Solution could be in C or JavaScript.

Thanks a lot,
Alex
