Added text to PDF with Adobe typewriter tool, but not showing in FF

[Twoleeland]

Hello,

I added some text with Adobe Acrobat typewriter tool to a PDF-file. This file, opened in FF with pdf.js, doesn't show the added text. In Adobe Reader/Acrobat it is shown right. Maybe a bug?

Regards

Could you provide the link to or example PDF that's created by this tool?

Here is the link: http://www.dj2lee.com/files/test.pdf

There must be green text in the table.

Error console contains:

[08:25:21.861] Warning: TODO: unimplemented annotation type: FreeText @ http://www.dj2lee.com/files/test.pdf:30463

Looks like it's not a part of the page content itself, but "artificial" overlay on top of it.

The Adobe Acrobat typewriter tool is a common tool, if you want to add text onto a PDF, like filling a form or a table as I did. ;) Free PDF-Viewer software like Foxit Reader can show this text, I add in with typewriter. I hope, someone can and will fix this issue in PDF.js in near future.

Yes, annotations are very mainstream and users don't really care if the spec considers them separate. Related bugzilla bug:

Note that the PDF @yurydelendik linked is also missing some annotation icons...
