Dim filePath As String = "../../Move Form Fillable Hydro.pdf"
Dim doc As Telerik.Windows.Documents.Fixed.Model.RadFixedDocument = provider.Import(File.ReadAllBytes(filePath))
For Each page As Telerik.Windows.Documents.Fixed.Model.RadFixedPage In doc.Pages
For Each a In page.Annotations
Dim widget As VariableContentWidget = TryCast(a, Telerik.Windows.Documents.Fixed.Model.Annotations.VariableContentWidget)
If widget IsNot Nothing Then
widget.AppearanceCharacteristics.Background = New Telerik.Windows.Documents.Fixed.Model.ColorSpaces.RgbColor(255, 255, 255)
End If
Next
Next
Me.RadPdfViewer1.Document = doc
