    Hi Martin, 

    Welcome to the Box Community!

    Annotation is currently not accessible to open shared links, so unfortunately, non-Box users won't be able to access it.

    If this is something you would like to be able to do, I would highly recommend submitting this feature request at pulse.box.com! Our product managers review these requests and take them into consideration for future product development.

    Best,

    OK, thanks. I will post that feature request. It would make annotating pdfs directly in Box much more useful (to me).

    In the meantime, is there any way that I can myself download the annotations? I really would not want to put in all the time needed to manually copy-paste everything into a stand-alone pdf-annotator.

    Thanks

    Hi Martin,

    Unfortunately, Annotations are not downloadable at present.

    Have you considered inviting your colleague as a Collaborator? This should allow her to access annotations, although, inviting a someone as a collaborator will required the invitee to sign up for a Box account to access the content. 

    Best,

    Yes, in the end that was how we solved our problem. He signed up for a free Box account and I invited him to the folder as a collaborator. 

    Thanks
