PDF Annotation Flattening

Aspose.PDF Product Family
1

I have a PDF below with a couple of annotations. It is possible to flatten the annotations onto the PDF?

I have tried the below code segment, but it's not working well. I didn't find much information on Flatten(), please tell me if I'm using it incorrectly.

I have attached two documents:
Original_SAMPLE.pdf - the original PDF with annotations
FLATTENED_SAMPLE.pdf- what I hope to do.

            string pdfPath = inputpath;
            Document doc = new Document(pdfPath);
            for (int i = 1; i < doc.Pages.Count && i < 5; i++)
            {
                Page page = doc.Pages[i];
                List<Annotation> annotations = new List<Annotation>();
                for (int j = 1; j <= page.Annotations.Count; j++)
                    annotations.Add(page.Annotations[j]);
                foreach (Annotation annot in annotations)
                    annot.Flatten();
            }
            doc.Save(outputpath);v
