Good evening,
I am trying to extract the annotations in a pdf file. This is straight
forward:
reader = new PdfReader(pdfFile.fullname);
for (int n = 1; n <= reader.NumberOfPages; n++) {
PdfDictionary page = reader.GetPageN(n);
PdfArray annotsArray = page.GetAsArray(PdfName.ANNOTS);
if (annotsArray != null) {
for (int k = 0; k < annotsArray.Size; k++) {
PdfDictionary annot =
(PdfDictionary)PdfReader.GetPdfObject(annotsArray[k]);
PdfString content =
(PdfString)PdfReader.GetPdfObject(annot.Get(PdfName.CONTENTS));
if (content != null) {
System.Windows.Forms.MessageBox.Show(content.ToString());
}
}
}
}
However, if the annotation contains Unicode (more specific 1252 code page)
the annotation is not read correctly.
I tried modifying the above code as follows:
if (content != null) {
byte[] byteArray =
Encoding.Unicode.GetBytes(((PdfString)PdfReader.GetPdfObject(annot.Get(PdfNa
me.CONTENTS))).ToString());
string s = Encoding.Unicode.GetString(byteArray);
System.Windows.Forms.MessageBox.Show(s);
Unfortunately, this does not resolve the issue.
I have attached a sample file with the troublesome annotation.
I was wondering if someone could point me in the right direction.
Thanks.
William Bell
