I am trying to add annotations to a pdf. The shape looks fine when I just add it:
NotFlattened.png (13.0 KB)
But as soon as i flatten it, it comes out all messed up:
Flattened.png (18.8 KB)
I don’t know if this is a bug, or if I’m doing something wrong, but the only difference is me calling .flatten() (on the document, or on the annotation itself)
Thanks
Can you please share the source PDF file and code so that we may try to reproduce the same on our end.
I have changed your code a bit and it is not reproducing the issue.
try
{
// Create Polygon Annotation - not sure what the rectangle is used for but its required.
PolygonAnnotation bayInterior = new PolygonAnnotation(pdfDocument, forgeShapePoints)
{
// Pass in style JSON and parse out for these values
Color = Color.Transparent,
InteriorColor = Color.White,
Opacity = 0.7
};
// Create Polygon Annotation - not sure what the rectangle is used for but its required.
PolygonAnnotation bayPermiter = new PolygonAnnotation(pdfDocument, forgeShapePoints)
{
// Pass in style JSON and parse out for these values
Color = Color.LimeGreen
};
bayPermiter.Border = new Border(bayInterior) { Width = 4 };
// Create PolyLine Annotation
PolylineAnnotation joistDirectionArrow = new
PolylineAnnotation(pdfDocument.Pages[3], new Rectangle(100, 300, 200, 400), joistDirectionArrowPoints)
{
Color = Color.Blue
};
joistDirectionArrow.Border = new Border(joistDirectionArrow) { Width = 2 };
//pdfDocument.Flatten();
pdfDocument.Pages[3].Annotations.Add(bayInterior);
pdfDocument.Pages[3].Annotations.Add(bayPermiter);
pdfDocument.Pages[3].Annotations.Add(joistDirectionArrow);
foreach (var annotation in pdfDocument.Pages[3].Annotations)
{
annotation.Flatten();
}
The Rectangle is required for PolylineAnnotation only and its value should lie within the page limit.
It’s still happening. No change with the code you sent.
I request you to share a sample application that reproduces the issue so that we can investigate this further.
Literally using the .cs file above, and that pdf and hit run. The only difference was I used the code you sent back. That’s all of it.
Here’s an updated one. I added in some code to calculate the BBox for the rectangles passed in…
No matter what I do, when I flatten, the annotations lose all styling and the arrow is messed up.
All you need to change is the directory at the top and run.

I have been able to reproduce the issue on our end. A ticket with ID PDFNET-50062 has been created in our issue tracking system to further investigate the issue on our end. This thread has been linked with the issue so that you may be notified once the issue will be fixed.
Thanks so much. Is there any kind of timeline you can give me? This could greatly affect our beta rollout.
Any information is appreciated, thanks!

Amazing thank you!
Hey anything yet? I’m getting a lot of pressure from my manager to get this issue resolved.
As shared earlier, in free support model, issues are resolved on first come first serve basis and the issue was logged about two weeks ago. It is pending due to long queue of pending issues thus may take some months. We appreciate your patience.
