Hello experts,
below code tested on itextsharp 5.2.1 and 5.3.2 with same result.
All markups (lines, polygons, text, arrows) done on top of the original
content are MISSING in the output file.
content itself is fine and the code works with no errors. PDFs with no
markup & annotation content work fine with below code.
what can be done about this ?
Is this a bug (or by design) in the iText engine, or do the annotation
objects require special treatment ?
*I would like to preserve all markup & annotations in the outputfile.*
If that is not possible, I would like to at least detect the existence of
them.
I own the itext in action 2nd edition book and the code below is written
with guidance from the book - pages 90,91 (adding objects from template and
wrapping into an image for easier transformation)
thank you in advance,
Hakan

PdfTemp = page.CreateTemplate(page.Width, page.Height)
PdfTemp.AddTemplate(page, 1, 0, 0, 1, 0, 0)
writer.ReleaseTemplate(PdfTemp)
img = Image.GetInstance(PdfTemp) 'wrap template into image to make
rotation transformation easier - according to recommendation in book
img.ScalePercent(Zoom)
img.SetAbsolutePosition(offset_x, offset_y)
img.RotationDegrees = rotation
doc.Add(img)
'cleanup
doc.Close()
reader.Close()
writer.Close()
img = Nothing
doc = Nothing
