Inc annotation not flattened

[BertvN]

Hi,

I try to flatten an Inc annotation in a PDF document but it won't flatten. The same with a popup annotation. Is this a bug or not implemented in the current release?

I'm using version v14.4.0.15

Cheers,

Bert

Hi Bert,

 

Thank you for using Syncfusion products,

 

1. We do have support for flattening ink annotation in the PDF document. We have created a sample to demonstrate this, please get the sample from the below link,

http://www.syncfusion.com/downloads/support/directtrac/128577/ze/ink_annotation1768370090

 

 

2. At present, we don’t have support to flatten popup annotation. we have already logged the feature request in our database, and we will let you know once we implemented this feature. 

 

Please let us know if you need further assistance.

 

Regards,

Bhuvaneswari N.

It seems to be working in the WindowsForms application but not in an UWP appliction. CAn that be the thing?

I added these lines in the demo project "Syncfusion.SampleBrowser.UWP.Pdf" in the AnnotationFlatten.xaml.cs and there it won't flatten. 

See attachment :)

List<float> linePoints = new List<float> { 40, 300, 60, 100, 40, 50, 40, 300 };

            //Creates a new ink annotation

            RectangleF rectangle = new RectangleF(0, 0, 300, 400);

            PdfInkAnnotation inkAnnotation = new PdfInkAnnotation(rectangle, linePoints);

            inkAnnotation.Color = new PdfColor(System.Drawing.Color.FromArgb(255, 255, 0, 0));

Ok, is it something that will be fixed in the coming release? For us it's a show stopper that this doesn't work.

Cheers,

Hi Bert,

We do not have any immediate plans to implement the flattening support for Ink and Popup annotation in UWP platform. We will let you know once we have implemented this feature.

Hi,
I know this post is 5 years old, but I can't flatten popup annotations with version 16.4460.0.42 of Syncfusion.PDF.Base. When I call the 'flatten' code and save to disk, the annotations are still present.
Is there a fix for this in a more recent version please ?

Hi EDM,

We suspect that the reported issue occurs due to input document specific. We request you to share the input document, output document, platform details, simple sample with replication steps to reproduce the issue on our end. So that it will be helpful for us to analyze and provide solution.
