Highlight in Universal Viewer HTML5 and SilverLight

[Richard Dupont]

Hello,

I'm switching back and fort from the HTML5 and SilverLight viewer. And I have a problem with the Highlight tool.

When I do the annotation from the silverlight viewer and save it I can see it in both the Html5 and Silverlight viewer. But when I save it from the Html5 viewer it's only work in the Html5 viewer and in the Silverlight one all the annotation become invisible.

The XFDF generated from each viewer are differents.

For example I highlighted some text in SilverLight, saved it. Load the doc in the Html5 viewer and save it back. Here is the content of the 2 XFDF file.

SilverLight :

<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?>
<xfdf xml:space="preserve" xmlns="http://ns.adobe.com/xfdf/">

Hi Richard,

You may want to try the latest version of WebViewer (1.8). Here are the steps I took to try to reproduce the problem:

1. Found the webviewer-controls sample, specifically webviewer-controls.html

2. Found the PDFTron.WebViewer constructor in webviewer-controls.html and added the option serverUrl: '../../lib/html5/annotationHandler.php'

3. Created a highlight annotation in Silverlight and saved it.

4. Opened the HTML5 viewer and the annotation was visible.

5. Added another highlight from the HTML5 viewer and saved it.

6. Switched back to the Silverlight viewer and both annotations were visible.

Hi Matt,

I update to the new version of the WebViewer. It in a way corrected my error but I now have a problem with the decimal separator in the SilverLight viewer. It only work when in the regional settings it's set to the english ".". But here we are in french and it the "," that we are using.

Does the version of the pdfnet library have anything to do with it? I'm currently using the 6.2.1.23937 one.

When it set to the french one I get this error message:

Hi Richard,

Can you try updating your ReaderControl.xap file in lib/silverlight to the one I've attached here as that should fix the issue.
