TextFragmentAbsorber Failing To Find Text on Last Page

Aspose.PDF Product Family
1

The following code is finding and replacing text on pages inside the PDF, but failing to find matching text on the last page of the PDF.

var textFinder = new TextFragmentAbsorber(matchString);
_document.Pages.Accept(textFinder);
TextFragmentCollection collector = textFinder.TextFragments;
foreach (TextFragment match in collector) {
    match.Text = replaceString;
}

Attached is the pdf before and after running this find and replace code using Aspose

public void AsposeBug(string filepath) {
    var document = new Aspose.Pdf.Document(filepath);
    var matchString = "<#document_owner>";
    var replaceString = "John Doe";

    var textFinder = new TextFragmentAbsorber(matchString);
    document.Pages.Accept(textFinder);
    TextFragmentCollection collector = textFinder.TextFragments;

    foreach (TextFragment match in collector) {
        match.Text = replaceString;
    }

    document.Save(filepath); // Overwrite
}

There are two “<#document_owner>” strings in the pdf, but only one gets replaced. If I remove the first instance of “<#document_owner>” it still does not replace the string on the last page.
