cannot move or delete "pencil annotations" in pdf

[camille_59]

Hi,

I use freeSpire in C# to move annotations in a pdf. It's work well for all annotations except "pencil annotations". For exemple, the next code won't delete pencil annotations :

Code: Select all

using Spire.Pdf;
PdfDocument pdf = new PdfDocument();
pdf.LoadFromFile(inputPathFile);
pdf.Pages[0].AnnotationsWidget.Clear();

it's look like these kind of annotationd were "drawing" but I'm not able to retrieve drawing for moving or deleting.

For information, this is the fdf doc (shorted) with the annotation :

%FDF-1.2

My program is a c# console application .NET framework 4.7.2 and I use FreeSpire 6.10.6.

Thanks for your help,

Hello,

Thanks for your inquiry.
Regarding the “pencil annotations”, do you mean this kind of annotation (as shown below)? I simulated a PDF file with such annotations and then tested your code, and indeed reproduced your issue. I have logged this issue in our bug tracking system with the ticket SPIREPDF-4020 for further investigation. If there is any update, we will let you know. Sorry for the inconvenience caused.
