Add text stamp in PDF using Aspose.PDF for .NET - stamp position is different for margins

Aspose.PDF Product Family
1

Hi,

After updating Aspose.Pdf from 17.12 to 18.3 we’ve noticed that text stamp position is different for the same values of margins.

Please find attached test document which was converted in version 17.12 and in version 18.3 (vertical position is different).
Also i put code we used for adding text stamp:

var textStamp = new TextStamp(new Aspose.Pdf.Facades.FormattedText(content,
fontColor,
fontStyle,
Aspose.Pdf.Facades.EncodingType.Winansi,
true,
textSize));

textStamp.BottomMargin = bottomMargin;
textStamp.RightMargin = rightMargin;
textStamp.TopMargin = topMargin;
textStamp.LeftMargin = leftMargin;

page.AddStamp(textStamp);

Thank you for contacting support.

We would like to share with you that your code snippet includes some undefined properties thus we were unable to reproduce the issue of different margins. However, we have tried to add a TextStamp using below code snippet but we can not notice any difference in margins. Please review attached PDF files and let us know if you find any problem. TestStamp.zip

        // Open document
        Document pdfDocument = new Document();

        //Add a page to PDF document
        pdfDocument.Pages.Add();

        // Create text stamp
        TextStamp textStamp = new TextStamp("Sample Stamp");

        // Set whether stamp is background
        textStamp.Background = false;

        // Set origin
        textStamp.XIndent = 200;
        textStamp.YIndent = 450;

        // Set text properties
        textStamp.TextState.Font = FontRepository.FindFont("Arial");
        textStamp.TextState.FontSize = 14.0F;
        textStamp.TextState.FontStyle = FontStyles.Bold;
        textStamp.TextState.FontStyle = FontStyles.Italic;
        textStamp.TextState.ForegroundColor = Aspose.Pdf.Color.FromRgb(System.Drawing.Color.Red);

        textStamp.BottomMargin = 100;
        textStamp.RightMargin = 100;
        textStamp.TopMargin = 100;
        textStamp.LeftMargin = 100;

        // Add stamp to particular page
        pdfDocument.Pages[1].AddStamp(textStamp);

        dataDir = dataDir + "TestStamp_17.12.pdf";
        // Save output document
        pdfDocument.Save(dataDir);

We hope this will be helpful. Please feel free to contact us if you need any further assistance.

Thank you for your example. It works fine unless you will add such rows:

textStamp.HorizontalAlignment = HorizontalAlignment.Right;
textStamp.VerticalAlignment = VerticalAlignment.Top;

After that text Stamp has small difference in vertical position (see attached files).

We would like to share with you that position of text does not appear different. Please see attached screenshot for your kind reference Compare.JPG. However, the text appears little different; for which an investigation ticket with ID PDFNET-44430 has been logged in our issue management system.

We are sorry for the inconvenience.

Thank you. We will wait for results.

But in your image it is not clear if text in the same position as document does not have any other text to compare with. Do not use empty document - get any existed pdf file and put stamp over existed text or image to see different position of stamp - it is not big difference (3-5 pixels) and you will not see it in empty document.

Please check again comparing of my files
