underlyingText

Get Signature

get underlyingText(): string

Experimental

Retrieves the text associated with the text markup annotation as a string.

Remarks

This method provides a convenient way to access the text marked by the annotation, but it does not directly originate from the annotation object within the PDF structure. Due to potential complexities such as overlapping texts or watermarks, the returned string might not always precisely match the visually selected content.

Returns

string

The text associated with the annotation.

Methods

dispose()

dispose(): void

Experimental

Disposes of the object, releasing any resources it holds.

The dispose method is responsible for performing cleanup operations and releasing any resources acquired by the object. Once an object is disposed, it should not be used, and attempts to do so may result in undefined behavior.

Returns

void

Inherited from

MarkupAnnotation.dispose
