Description Bug Fly 2009-10-06 19:11:37 UTC

Created attachment 30132 [details]
text annotation without appearance.

According to PDF spec. 12.5.5, there should be a default Appearance to display when no appearance stream are supplied.

poppler don't display anything when not appearance found. The attached pdf file has a text annotation without a Appearnace (AP) at the lower half of the first page. In Acrobat Reader, it shows a white sticky note and popup a window to show its contents when clicked. In evince, no trace of the text annotation can be spotted.

Also according to "12.5.6.4 Text Annotations", The /Name entry of Text Annotation should has some predefined icons to use and the "Note" is the default name:

   Key  Type   Value
   =============================================================================
   Name name   (Optional) The name of an icon that shall be used in displaying
	       the annotation. Conforming readers shall provide predefined icon
	       appearances for at least the following standard names: 

	           Comment, Key, Note, Help, NewParagraph, Paragraph, Insert
		   
	       Additional names may be supported as well. Default value: Note.

	       The annotation dictionary's AP entry, if present, shall take
	       precedence over the Name entry; see Table 168 and 12.5.5,
	       "Appearance Streams."
