Rotated Text Box moves when importing annot file

Post by lidds »

I have found an issue with a rotated text box when importing a saved annotation file.

If I place a textbox, then rotate it by 90 degrees so it is now vertical. Export an annotation file, and then import the annotation file the vertical text box is not located to the same position, but offset in the X axis.

For some reason I can't attach the zip file, please download from the below link:

Hello Simon,

Does this also recreate in the End-User Editor?

Cheers,
Alex

Sorry Alex,

I don't mean to hassle you, but I'm getting chased on this. Is there any chance of a one off hotfix?

Thanks

Hello Simon,

I've asked the developer who needs to fix this issue about the possible timeline - I will reply here, once he tells me more.

Just checking to see if there is an ETA on this from your developer, becoming a bit of a hight priority with my customer.

Hello Simon,

Well he said that he had fixed this, though the could be potential problems with already existing fdf/xfdf if the rotation angle was aliquot part of 45.
Though there is another problem - this was fixed in the currently developed build that should be out at the beginning of spring and thus there could be potential problems if you use this in the production as many features can be still unfinished or not working properly.

Cheers,
Alex

Alex,

I have just tested on build 328.1 with a newly created annotation export file and the problem still is there.

I don't think my customer will be able to wait until Spring to get this resolved as they are on my case at the moment. Could you ask your developer if there is a work around, even if it means looping through annotation FreeText elements and manually moving them or something?

Thanks
