What?

I added one [translate] function to the PDFPage class . the method can translate annotations and content of the PDF's page . not only then content .

let source = await PDFDocument.load(readFile(path))
const pdfDoc = await PDFDocument.create()
let pages = await pdfDoc.copyPages(source, source.getPageIndices())
for (let page of pages) {
page.translate(50,50)
pdfDoc.addPage(page)
const pdfBytes = await pdfDoc.save()

Why?

In many pdf files, annotations and text content is followed together, the library currently only provides the translateContent method, if you use the method will cause misalignment of annotations and text . also , there are no methods in the library for moving annotations

How?

In my method, I first find all the annotations and then trnaslate the annotations by adding or subtracting numbers from the location information in the annotations

Testing?

I created a pdf file, marked the annotation on top of a word, and then use my method [ translate(20,20) ] , and then check if the annotation deviates from the word . Result: No offset . then repeat doing this test by using different annotation type

New Dependencies?

no
