Moodle plugins directory: Annotate PDF advanced

Hello. I've installed the plugin, and tried it with a sample assignment. Whilst "Annotate PDF Advanced" appears as a heading in the "View all submissions" screen (between "Feedback Comments" and "Final Grade") there is no option to open the submission in the annotation system.
Thanks in advance.
Paul

OK - figured it out. I set the default grading system to "Annotate PDF Advanced". Now it goes to the annotation system when I click "Grade".

Hello Paul,
Yes you have to explicitly check "annotate pdf advanced" and uncheck "annotate pdf". We've tried to open a ticket to facilitate the chose of an annotation system, but it has been closed, as you can see it: https://tracker.moodle.org/browse/MDL-62311

Thanks for this handy plugin. I can't seem to find any language strings for the "Comment Lexique Repetion ponctuation" buttons (https://www.screencast.com/t/1nNfU1NrSxQz) in the language file (https://www.screencast.com/t/kfrnX85VU). Any suggestion on how to change the text?

Hello Fernando,
These strings are not in language files as you can change them in the administration area:
- for all in the administration page of the plugin
- for just one course, you can see this page : https://gitlabriset.unil.ch/Marion.Chardon/moodle-assignfeedback_editpdfplus/wikis/user-guide#configuration

I have just raised two issues on Github. One is that ticks and crosses do not appear correctly in the final downloadable PDF. Can you please advise a workaround for this? The documents are supplied originally as PDF scans; can I edit them to add a font that will correctly support the symbols? Thanks.

Hello, thank you for your feedback.
I answered you on the Github. There is no solution in the immediate future (except to use "classic" characters, as "X" or ""). We are studying a change in the PDF generator, which will answer to this problem among other things.

Hi Marion, I am looking at an issue with moodle Core Assignment annotation, where documents that are smaller or larger than A4 (A5 or A3 for example) do not display properly, and cannot be resized within the module or through zooming in the browser. Here is the bug tracker I have started following: https://tracker.moodle.org/browse/MDL-47580 just wondering if this fork works with larger and smaller docs?

Hi David,
This fork "works" with A5 or A3 documents: documents are displayed properly (maybe depending of your size screen), I've just made the test this morning on Moodle 3.6. But there is not specific option for zooming in/out.

Hi, I have yet to get the module installed and functioning, but from what I've read about it am I correct in assuming that the annotation process is initiated by the TUTOR only? e.g. the workflow is student submits PDF, tutor creates annotation, student replies/annotates, tutor updates annotations/saves (students annotations are deleted), student replies etc If that is the case would it be very difficult to adjust the code to add administrative settings that would override that default behaviour? e.g. Allow Student to Initiate Annotation - workflow is tutor creates/makes pdf available in Moodle for class, students annotate, tutor annotates/replies etc and another admin setting that turns OFF the deletion of student annotations if/when the tutor saves the pdf - thanks for your time and patience, my apologies if I have the workflow/functionality of the plugin incorrect.

Hi Martin
You have correctly understood the workflow.
It is quite difficult to allow students to initiate a process because it is only a feedback plug-in for the student's work.
However, we can work on removing (or not) the student's comments when a teacher modifies annotations. I will add your suggestion on Github.

Hi, Marion,
I tried to install this plugin on my Moodle and I am stocked on a dependency Hell. It is saying that I need assignfeedback_editpdf plugin to be installed before I can continue installation. I tried installing all versions of required plugin but I am not able to proceed forward nor am I able to cancel the installation. If you could suggest me the solution that would be great.
Regards,

Hi Anil,
Which version are you trying to install ? on which version of Moodle ?
In the last version I have removed this dependency. But assignfeedbck_editpdf is a plugin integrated to Moodle core, you should not have trouble with it. Tell me about your versions.

hello
is it possible that instead of changing the pages, scroll down the document?

Hello,
Sorry, at this time, it isn't. All is based on this system... But I will think about it.
