type of shading to be used, the geometry of the area to be shaded, and the geometry of the gradient fill. Various shading types are available, depending on the value of the dictionary’s ShadingType entry:

I have a simple program that imports a PDF, calls AcroForm.FlattenFormFields(), and calls Export() on the PdfFormatProvider. I am seeing the following exception during Import() on a signed W9 form a customer has uploaded into our system. Due to the sensitive nature of the document I cannot upload it, but below is the Sig section. I have tried other example signed PDFs which seem to work fine (See attached)

39 0 obj
