#  `dump_data_annots`

Dump annotation info in pdftk style
## Usage
> pdftl `<input>` `dump_data_annots` `[output` `<output>]`

## Details
Extracts annotations and prints them in a text-based stanza
format, designed to be compatible with `pdftk`'s output.

This operation **filters** the output to standard annotation
types (Link, Text, Widget, Popup, FreeText, Square, URI,
FileAttachment). It explicitly excludes JavaScript actions.

### Stanza Format

Entries are separated by `---`. Common keys include:

* `AnnotSubtype`: The type of annotation (e.g., Link, Text).
* `AnnotRect`: The bounding box [x y w h].
* `AnnotPageNumber`: The page number containing the annotation.

Use this operation for legacy compatibility or simple textual
analysis. For a complete dataset, use `dump_annots`.
## Examples

```
