XFDF renders differently when using doc.getFileData

Product: PDFTron SDK Js

Product Version: 8.2.0

Please give a brief summary of your issue:

  1. My annotations is rendered differently when I use doc.getFileData vs what I expect the results should be.

  2. This is what I expect the rendered annotations should be:

  3. This is the rendered annotation when I use doc.getFileData

  4. As you can see, when I use doc.getFileData, The replies to the markup with author “MAI” become independent markups.

  5. My code to generate the pdf is the following:

const downloadAsync = async (url, fileName, xfdf) => {

  return new Promise(async (resolve, reject) => {

    const licenseKey = pdfTronLicenseJs;
    const documentURL = url;
    const extension = 'pdf'; // pass extension to option if there is no file extension in documentURL

    try {

      let doc = await CoreControls.createDocument(documentURL, { l: licenseKey, extension });

      const options = {
        xfdfString: xfdf,
        flags: CoreControls.SaveOptions.LINEARIZED
      };

      let data = await doc.getFileData(options);

      const arr = new Uint8Array(data);
      const blob = new Blob([arr], { type: 'application/pdf' });
      saveBufferAsPDFDoc(blob, fileName);      

      resolve(true);
    } catch (err) {
      reject(Error(err));
    }

  });

}
url = url of the pdf file
filename = filename of the pdf file
xfdf = the xfdf string to combine with the downloaded pdf file

Hello Adrian,

I have identified the issue to be an issue with the XFDF file.
If replace \\&quot with \&quot throughout the file. The imported XFDF works as expected.
How was this XFDF file generated?
