Test type in the protocol

Applies to

A single object

How AxisRemedy handles it

Tested by the app. AxisRemedy tests this condition itself. For each document it records passed, failed or not applicable, and for every failure the object and the page.

What the check covers

Tests every annotation except Widget, Popup, Link, TrapNet and PrinterMark; the structure element that holds its object reference must be an Annot after role mapping. Annotations that are hidden (Hidden or NoView flag) or lie entirely outside the page's crop box are not counted.
