> Annotations parsed from XFDF containing ampersand characters are not properly
> imported
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: PDFBOX-3646
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-3646
> Project: PDFBox
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: AcroForm, PDModel
> Affects Versions: 2.0.3, 2.0.4, 2.0.5, 2.0.6
> Environment: java 1.8.0_112
> Reporter: Kai Keggenhoff
> Assignee: Tilman Hausherr
> Priority: Major
> Labels: xfdf
> Fix For: 2.0.13, 3.0.0 PDFBox
>
> Attachments: MergeTest.java, output1.pdf, output2.pdf, sample.xfdf
>
>
> Annotations containing "&" in their text are displayed incorrectly when
> parsed unmodified from XFDF (the ampersands are encoded as "&" there) and
> added to a PDF document.
> This occurs for both "text comment" and "text box" type annotations.
> However, if the XFDF is modified by replacing "&" with "&" prior
> to parsing, the imported annotations are then displayed correctly.
> The attached code produces two pdf files. One is the PDF with the unmodified
> XFDF imported, two the PDF with the modifed XFDF.
> A XFDF containing both a text box and text comment annotation is embedded in
> the source and attached as a separated file.
> Update 23.03.2017 : This problem persists in 2.0.5 and we noticed the same
> corruption of merged annotations occur, if the annotation text contains a "<"
> (encoded as "lt" entity)
> Update 17.10.2018 : This corruption is caused by
> FDFAnnotation.richContentsToString. This method reads "<" and "&" from the
> parsed values in the document and puts them as such into the markup, but
> these characters must be replaced with their entities.
> I'll add this substitution to my proposed bugfix of 4345, please refer to
> https://issues.apache.org/jira/projects/PDFBOX/issues/PDFBOX-4345
