// This class provides helper methods for annotations. More
// functionality will likely be added in the future.
+ // Some functionality for annotations is also implemented in
+ // QPDFAcroFormDocumentHelper and QPDFFormFieldObjectHelper. In
+ // some cases, functions defined there work for other annotations
+ // besides widget annotations, but they are implemented with form
+ // fields so that they can properly handle form fields when
+ // needed.

// Return the subtype of the annotation as a string (e.g.
// "/Widget"). Returns the empty string if the subtype (which is
// required by the spec) is missing.
