Hello all,

I have the sample code below to print a line of plain text and a second of text over a filled rectangle: 
use PDF::API2; 

  my $pdf = PDF::API2->new();
  my $page = $pdf->page();
  my $text = $page->text();
  my $font = $pdf->corefont('Helvetica-Roman');

  $text->font($font, 16);
  $text->translate(50, 620);
  $text->text('Print some text');
  $text->rect(50, 560, 400, 18);
  $text->fillcolor('#000000');
  $text->fill();
  $text->fillcolor('#ffffff');
  $text->translate(62, 565);
  $text->text('Print text in rect');
  $pdf->saveas('test.pdf');

When I view 'test.pdf' on my computer, I have the two lines of text correctly displayed as expected.

But when I try to view test.pdf on my android phone using a pdf viewer that I installed from Google Play (Adobe Acrobat Reader version 18.1 with 100 million downloads), only the plain text line is displayed but not the text over rect box.

Is there anything wrong with my code?

I'm at my wits' end.
