Annotation exports don’t always match a brand’s style guide or an existing review process. AEM lets you customize the format and style of annotations you export to PDF, including colors, fonts, and page dimensions. This keeps exported reviews consistent with the rest of your documentation.

PDF annotation sling:OsgiConfig definition
To customize PDF annotations, create a sling:OsgiConfig node in your AEM project under
/apps/my-project/config.author/com.day.cq.dam.core.impl.annotation.pdf.AnnotationPdfConfig.xml and adjust the values as needed:
