Cannot get annotations to appear in PDF
I am involved with a project trying to add annotations to an existing PDF.
I am starting by trying to add a highlight.
I create the object as follows:
public class HighlightAnnotationBuilder extends AnnotationBuilder
{
public HighlightAnnotationBuilder( PDPage page, float[][] quads )
{
if ( quads != null && quads.length > 0 && quads[0].length > 0)
{
PDAnnotationTextMarkup highlight = new PDAnnotationTextMarkup( PDAnnotationTextMarkup.SUB_TYPE_HIGHLIGHT );
PDRectangle box = new PDRectangle();
box.setLowerLeftX( quads[0][4] );
box.setLowerLeftY( quads[0][5] );
box.setUpperRightX( quads[0][2] );
box.setUpperRightY( quads[0][3] );
highlight.setRectangle( box );
highlight.setColor( YELLOW );
highlight.setContents( " placeholder " );
highlight.setConstantOpacity( ( float ) 0.8 );
highlight.setQuadPoints( quads[0] );
highlight.setPage( page );
_annotations.add( highlight );
}
}
}
Add add the contents of _annotations to the pdf and save it.
I can parse the object from the file after closing an reopening it. The debug output looks like this:
12:52:50.738 [main] DEBUG blackboard.annotationRenderer.pdf.parser.PDFReaderTest - Annotation: org.apache.pdfbox.pdmodel.interactive.annotation.PDAnnotationTextMarkup
12:52:50.742 [main] DEBUG blackboard.annotationRenderer.pdf.parser.PDFReaderTest - Rectangle: (72.000000, 684.000000), (208.793701, 720.000000); Quads: [ 72.000000, 720.000000, 208.793701, 720.000000, 72.000000, 684.000000, 208.793701, 684.000000, ]

12:52:50.743 [main] DEBUG blackboard.annotationRenderer.pdf.parser.PDFReaderTest - Contents: placeholder
But it does not appear in the PDF when I open it in a viewer (Acrobat, etc.).
I have attached the PDF and would appreciate any advice.

I looked at the file with PDFDebugger:
The annotations should be above "Contents" but they aren't. Either you
didn't add it, or you didn't save the file, or you uploaded the wrong file.

Re: Cannot get annotations to appear in PDF

Yes, it appears I have been the victim of some strange caching issues. My IDE has been operating on something other than the files on disk. I don't know what or how, but after changing the output directory, suddenly I have an annotation right where I expected it.

Re: Cannot get annotations to appear in PDF
Posted by Tilman Hausherr <TH...@t-online.de>.
I also looked into the file with NOTEPAD++, it has /Linearized at the
beginning. PDFBox doesn't produce linearized files.

Re: Cannot get annotations to appear in PDF
Posted by Ted Snider <te...@blackboard.com>.
Tilman,
When you say the pdf doesn't contain any annotation, what do you mean?
How do you arrive at that conclusion?
My own parsing of the file comes up with exactly one annotation: org.apache.pdfbox.pdmodel.interactive.annotation.PDAnnotationTextMarkup with the following quad points: [ 72.000000, 720.000000, 208.793701, 720.000000, 72.000000, 684.000000, 208.793701, 684.000000 ].

Re: Cannot get annotations to appear in PDF
Posted by Tilman Hausherr <TH...@t-online.de>.
The file doesn't contain any annotation. Did you assign the annotations
array to the page? Or is the PDF the "before" PDF?
