**PDF.js Express Version**

**Detailed description of issue**  
Hello,

I have a problem to merge any annotation with PDF document?  
I add the signature or any other annotation and then expect that document will have annotation attached to it after, but it doesn’t have.  
I am calling _annotManager.exportAnnotations()_ in order to then pass _xfdfString_ to _getFileData_  
function. Later, when I construct Blob and then download it, it doesn’t contain signature in it.

**Expected behaviour**  
I’m expecting to have annoation after I create and download Blob.

**Does your issue happen with every document, or just one?**  
That is happening with every document.

**Code snippet**

const myFN = async () =\> {  
const doc = docViewer.getDocument();  
const xfdfString = await annotManager.exportAnnotations( {links: false, widgets: false});

```
                      const data = await doc.getFileData({
                        xfdfString
                      });
                      
                      const arr = new Uint8Array(data);
                      const blob = new Blob([arr], { type: 'application/pdf' });
                      // const element = document.createElement("a");
                      const file2 = new File([blob], "updatedFile.pdf", {type: 'application/pdf'});
                  
                       }
```
