                             applications should provide predefined icon appearances for at least the follow-
                             ing standard names:

                             Additional names may be supported as well. Default value: Draft.
                             Note: The annotation dictionary’s AP entry, if present, takes precedence over the
                             Name entry; see Table 8.15 on page 606 and Section 8.4.4, “Appearance Streams.”


          Ink Annotations

          An ink annotation (PDF 1.3) represents a freehand “scribble” composed of one or
          more disjoint paths. When opened, it displays a pop-up window containing the
          text of the associated note. Table 8.33 shows the annotation dictionary entries
          specific to this type of annotation.

                       TABLE 8.33 Additional entries specific to an ink annotation
KEY           TYPE           VALUE

Subtype       name           (Required) The type of annotation that this dictionary describes; must be Ink for
                             an ink annotation.

InkList       array          (Required) An array of n arrays, each representing a stroked path. Each array is a
                             series of alternating horizontal and vertical coordinates in default user space,
                             specifying points along the path. When drawn, the points are connected by
                             straight lines or curves in an implementation-dependent way. (See implementa-
                             tion note 93 in Appendix H.)

BS            dictionary     (Optional) A border style dictionary (see Table 8.17 on page 611) specifying the
                             line width and dash pattern to be used in drawing the paths.
                             Note: The annotation dictionary’s AP entry, if present, takes precedence over the In-
                             kList and BS entries; see Table 8.15 on page 606 and Section 8.4.4, “Appearance
                             Streams.”
