And really helpful that the SVG style includes the adjustment properties.
I did some further research and found that the cropping data contained in the book being annotated is not needed for overlaying annotations on pages. The SVG style (width, height, top, and left) has all of the information that is needed to adjust the annotation rectangle to fit over the uncropped PDF page.

One thing to be aware of is that due to different aspect ratios between the scribe screen and cropped PDF pages there are typically parts of the page in the margins that cannot be annotated because they are off screen. Alternatively there can be places on the screen where annotations can be drawn that will be outside of the page boundaries of the original PDF.

I look forward to seeing what you come up with.
