Issues of resizing PDF comments (resizeContentsWithNormalization)

Aspose.PDF Product Family
1

We have a PDF file (sample.pdf (132.2 KB)
) that contains a form filled out by comments. When we call this method resizeContentsWithNormalization of PdfFileEditor to resize the PDF file, following exception occurred:
java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException: Index 0 out of bounds for length 0
** at com.aspose.pdf.Color.lf(Unknown Source)**
** at com.aspose.pdf.Annotation.ld(Unknown Source)**
** at com.aspose.pdf.FreeTextAnnotation.lI(Unknown Source)**

** at com.aspose.pdf.facades.APdfFileEditor.resizeContentsWithNormalization(Unknown Source)**
** at com.aspose.pdf.facades.PdfFileEditor.resizeContentsWithNormalization(Unknown Source)**

Although there are exceptions, we still can save the resized PDF file: sample-resized.pdf (126.9 KB)
But the comments seem not being resized too. They look like still in the original positions:
sample.png (147.4 KB)

Could you please help us to identify why the exception occurred? and is it possible to resize the comments together?

Hi, following is the source code:

import com.aspose.pdf.Document;
import com.aspose.pdf.facades.PdfFileEditor;

public class Test {
public static void main(String[] args) {
PdfFileEditor.ContentsResizeParameters parameters = new PdfFileEditor.ContentsResizeParameters(
PdfFileEditor.ContentsResizeValue.units(10),
null,
PdfFileEditor.ContentsResizeValue.units(10),
PdfFileEditor.ContentsResizeValue.units(10),
null,
PdfFileEditor.ContentsResizeValue.units(10)
);

	Document pdfDocument = null;
	try {
		pdfDocument = new Document("sample.pdf");
		PdfFileEditor editor = new PdfFileEditor();
		editor.resizeContentsWithNormalization(pdfDocument, parameters);
	} finally {
		if (pdfDocument != null) {
			pdfDocument.save("sample-resized.pdf");
			pdfDocument.close();
		}
	}
}

}

Hi @asad.ali was this PDFJAVA-42068 included in the 23.5 release? I did not see it mentioned in the notes.

@aweech

Regretfully, the ticket could not get resolved in 23.5 version due to some technical difficulties. Hence the fixed-in version is postponed. We are already trying our best to resolve it as soon as possible. We will surely share updates with you as soon as we have some in this regard. Your patience is highly appreciated. We apologize for the inconvenience.
