Image form in background, polygon line in foreground

Post by Peter2 »

I have an image form which is populated via CSV - works great, thanks for this function.

It is a square (same width and height), and to mark the exact middle of the square I added two lines (polygon lines) like a cross-hairs.

My problem now: the drawing order. I tried to use "bring forward / send backwards", but the image-form always covers the crosshairs. Any ideas to mark the middle of the image?

Semi-solved..

The lines are only covered in the pure, empty PDF file. When they are populated, the drawing order is correct and the "crosshair" is displayed on the top of the image.

Hello Peter2,

Is it possible to send us the file itself so we can offer a solution based on the contents of the file?

Regards.

Yes, Dimitar
I will send it per mail. But in the meantime I find the reason for different display:

Editor and Acrobat does not display the lines, PDF Viewer (good old times ;-) ) displays it:
left = Editor; right = viewer

Hello Peter,

Thank you for the file provided.

Unfortunately, this is one problem that will not find a solution. Our much older products had a problem creating these pieces of content.

They are not created entirely according to the PDF specification and therefore you should not be able to access them at all.

I'm afraid you have to recreate those annotations.

Regards.
