📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

PDAnnotation adds methods to resolve an annotation’s structure element through the document’s structure tree and return its /Alt value when it is a COS string. Both methods return null when the required data is unavailable or has a different type.

Changes

Annotation structure metadata

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Resolve annotation structure metadata src/main/java/org/verapdf/pd/PDAnnotation.java	getStructElement() looks up the annotation’s structure-parent entry and returns null when required structure-tree data is unavailable. getAlt() returns the structure element’s /Alt value only when it is a COS string.

🩺 Stability & Availability | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Return null when the current thread has no document.

If a caller constructs PDAnnotation directly and calls getStructElement() without a document in StaticResources, Line 138 throws a NullPointerException. getAlt() fails through the same call. Check the document before calling getStructTreeRoot(), consistent with the method’s null return for unavailable structure data.
