Annotate document is not working aptly

GroupDocs.Annotation Product Family

First test case: I annotate a docx file with text redaction and the document wasn’t annotated, and the annotation doesn’t appear on the screen. Actually, we can see just the annotation square limitation, but it grows until touch the left and bottom sides.

Second test case: I annotate a docx file with text redaction, the document was annotated but without comment. The problem with the square limitation happened in this test too.

I figure out the issue cause. The TextRedactionAnnotator doesn’t overwrite the annotateWord(), so when it is called it runs the parent annotateWord() method which is in turn uses highlightAnnotation property that doesn’t have the comments set.

Fix suggestion to the Demo Project

public class TextRedactionAnnotator extends TextHighlightAnnotator {
    ...
    @Override
    public AnnotationBase annotatePdf() {
        textRedactionAnnotation = (TextRedactionAnnotation) initAnnotationBase(textRedactionAnnotation);
        return textRedactionAnnotation;
    }

    //NEW CODE
    @Override
    public AnnotationBase annotateWord() {
        return annotatePdf();
    }
    ...
}

public class TextHighlightAnnotator extends AbstractTextAnnotator {
    ...
    @Override
    public AnnotationBase annotateWord() {
        highlightAnnotation = (HighlightAnnotation) initAnnotationBase(highlightAnnotation);
        return highlightAnnotation;
    }
    
    @Override
    public AnnotationBase annotatePdf() {
        return annotateWord();
    }
    ...
}
