Annotation title after concatenating PDF

Aspose.PDF Product Family

Hello team,

Thank you for your support.

PDF_Concatenated.zip (3.2 KB)

Please find sample source and PDFs in the attached zip file.

You can see annotation title “UserName_1” in PDF_Concatenated.pdf.
I think the title should not be “UserName_1” but “UserName”.

Thank you,

Thanks for contacting support.

The reason why the title of annotation was changing after concatenation is that, you were setting same title in the both PDF documents at the time of their generation. The API renames the title of annotation to differentiate between both annotations. After changing the titles of PDF_1.pdf and PDF_2.pdf to UserName1 and UserName2 respectively, the titles were not renamed in the concatenated resultant PDF.

// Create the 1st PDF with an annotation. 
var pdf1 = new Aspose.Pdf.Document();
var pdfPage1 = pdf1.Pages.Add();
var textAnnotation1 = new Aspose.Pdf.Annotations.TextAnnotation(pdfPage1, new Aspose.Pdf.Rectangle(0, 0, 0, 0));
textAnnotation1.Title = "UserName1";
textAnnotation1.Contents = "Page 1";
pdfPage1.Annotations.Add(textAnnotation1);
pdf1.Save(dataDir + "PDF_1.pdf");

// Create the 2nd PDF with an annotation. 
var pdf2 = new Aspose.Pdf.Document();
var pdfPage2 = pdf2.Pages.Add();
var textAnnotation2 = new Aspose.Pdf.Annotations.TextAnnotation(pdfPage2, new Aspose.Pdf.Rectangle(0, 0, 0, 0));
textAnnotation2.Title = "UserName2";
textAnnotation2.Contents = "Page 2";
pdfPage2.Annotations.Add(textAnnotation2);
pdf2.Save(dataDir + "PDF_2.pdf");

// Concatenate PDF Files
pdf1.Pages.Add(pdf2.Pages);
pdf1.Save(dataDir + "PDF_Concatenated.pdf");

Hello team,

Thank you for your support.

I hope the function not to rename. Do you have the function or any workaround not to rename?

Thank you,
