            While debugging Viewer RI, we discovered just one call to Graphics2D.setComposite(...) while the page was drawn, with the following stack trace:
            - BlendCompositeDrawCmd.paintOperand
            - Shapes.paintOperand
            - Annotation.renderAppearanceStream
            - TextMarkupAnnotation.renderAppearanceStream
            - Annotation.render
            - PageViewComponentImpl.paintAnnotations
            - PageViewComponentImpl.paintComponent
            - <...>

            It appears that Annotation.render(...) method never resets its Graphics2D's Composite property after it's done. We were able to fix the visual artifacts by getting/storing old Composite object and setting/restoring it before exiting. The same approach is already present in Annotation.render(...) for Transform and Clip properties.

            Here is the patch: https://gist.github.com/fragmer/3747eebebeda82dde6da9bf01b5498d8

            Description

            I have a document with several TextMarkup annotations that have "multiply" blending mode. When a page with such annotations is rendered, some of the other annotations (that do not specify any special blending mode) and some tools in Viewer RI (e.g. SquareAnnotationTool) end up incorrectly rendered with "multiply" blend mode.

            Here are screenshots from Viewer RI demonstrating this problem:
            1. http://i.imgur.com/crdC6TQ.png -- This is a document with one correctly-rendered SquareAnnotation, as reference. No problems here.

            2. http://i.imgur.com/Qo5eZ5H.png -- This document contains some TextMarkup annotations with "multiply" blend mode. The new SquareAnnotation I added -- which has the exact same attributes as in the first screenshot -- is rendered much darker.

            3. http://i.imgur.com/cQeceoy.png -- Same document as #2, after I deleted all "multiply"-blended TextMarkup annotations from the page. The SquareAnnotation is again rendered normally.

            Unfortunately I cannot provide the PDF document here (proprietary company stuff), but we did find a workaround.
