Annotation subtype (Text, Highlight, Link, etc.)

subtype_enum: AnnotationSubtype

Parsed annotation subtype enum

contents: Option<String>

Text contents of the annotation

rect: Option<[f64; 4]>

Rectangle bounds [x1, y1, x2, y2]

author: Option<String>

Author/creator of the annotation (T entry)

creation_date: Option<String>

Creation date

modification_date: Option<String>

Modification date (M entry)

quad_points: Option<Vec<[f64; 8]>>

QuadPoints for text markup annotations (Highlight, Underline, StrikeOut, Squiggly) Each quad is 8 values: x1,y1, x2,y2, x3,y3, x4,y4 PDF Spec: ISO 32000-1:2008, Section 12.5.6.10

color: Option<Vec<f64>>

Color array (C entry) - RGB or other color space

opacity: Option<f64>

Opacity (CA entry) - 0.0 to 1.0

flags: AnnotationFlags

Annotation flags (F entry)

border: Option<[f64; 3]>

Border style array (Border entry)

interior_color: Option<Vec<f64>>

Interior color for closed shapes (IC entry)

field_type: Option<WidgetFieldType>

Field type for Widget annotations (FT entry: Btn, Tx, Ch, Sig)

field_name: Option<String>

Field name for Widget annotations (T entry) Note: This is different from author (also T entry) for other annotation types
