PDF.js Express Plus

**PDF.js Express Version**  
8.7.0

**Detailed description of issue**  
We noticed a strange behavior when printing a document, sometimes the annotation text appears with its highlighted text displayed and sometimes it does not. Example: If you highlight text on a document, and then goto print and include annotations / comments, the highlight annotation includes the text which you highlighted. But it doesn’t always work, sometimes the highlighted text annotation doesn’t show anything.

**Expected behaviour**  
Is it supposed to include the highlighted text in the print? If so we would like it to always show up, as sometimes it does not.

**Does your issue happen with every document, or just one?**  
It happens randomly on any document.

In the example above you can see the first Highlight by Kara Smith showing the highlighted text. Then look at the last Highlight by Andy Herman and you’ll see nothing is displayed.
