FreeTextAnnotation New Line

Aspose.PDF Product Family
1

Hi,

I am creating a free text annotation object and setting its content (string) parameter value. However, the value I have to use has line breaks inside; but whatever I try I cannot make the freetextannotation to display those correctly. I have tried "\r", "\n", "\r\n" and even "
" without any luck. Every time I try, the text is always on single line with those line break characters.

Please advise on how to set multiline text to a freetextannotation object.

Thanks.

Hi,


Thanks for contacting support.

I have tested the scenario using Aspose.Pdf for .NET 7.7.0 where I have tried using following code snippet and as per my observations, the line break is properly appearing in TextAnnotation contents. For your reference, I have also attached the PDF file which is being generated over my end.

[C#]

//open document<o:p></o:p>

Document pdfDocument = new Document("c:/pdftest/Doc1.pdf");

//create annotation

TextAnnotation textAnnotation = new TextAnnotation(pdfDocument.Pages[1], new Aspose.Pdf.Rectangle(200, 400, 400, 600));

textAnnotation.Title = "Sample Annotation Title";

textAnnotation.Subject = "Sample Subject";

textAnnotation.State = AnnotationState.Accepted;

textAnnotation.Contents = "Sample contents for the \n annotation";

textAnnotation.Open = true;

textAnnotation.Icon = TextIcon.Key;

Border border = new Border(textAnnotation);

border.Width = 5;

border.Dash = new Dash(1, 1);

textAnnotation.Border = border;

textAnnotation.Rect = new Aspose.Pdf.Rectangle(200, 400, 400, 600);

//add annotation in the annotations collection of the page

pdfDocument.Pages[1].Annotations.Add(textAnnotation);

////save output file

pdfDocument.Save("c:/pdftest/LineBreak_output.pdf");

Can you please try that with FreeTextAnnotation? I have to use it instead of TextAnnotation as in your sample; due to cosmetic reasons.

Testing your code with FreeTextAnnotation also fails to render multiline texts.

Please advise.

Thanks for the fix; however it is in a worse state now. When multiple lines exist, the text is totall broken.

Please check the attached screenshots; where I have two annotations containing extactly same characters (capture_env.jpg file shows the correct annotations from the non-pdf format) but one of them has line breaks. The problem in PDF can be seen in second attachment (capture_pdf.jpg) which is taken from adobe reader.

I do not want to rollback to older version due to some other fix (PDFNEWNET-34994) in this dll.

Please advise asap.

Thanks.

Hi Alp,


Sorry for the inconvenience faced. I’m afraid, multiple line text in FreeTextAnnotation is working fine at my side. Could you please share your sample code here? So we will test it at our end and provide you more information accordingly.

Testing a little bir more; I noticed that the problem shows up when text is multiline and contains international characters.

When text is not multiline, international characters work fine.

When there are no international characters, multiline works fine.

When text is multiline and also international characters exist the result is broken.

Please try this text (without the quotations) for generating the error:

"üçüncü birinci \r ikinci \r üçüncü"

Please advise.

Thanks.
