Additional Information

We apologize that we were unable to address this issue within the current product support cycle.  If the issue continues to affect your work in a supported release, please contact Technical Support.

Workaround

The only method that works successfully in exporting the annotation is:1] A convoluted workflow which involved exporting the text strings and completely recreating the annotation.2]  Using the Data Interoperability Extension. In the original format the annotation did not export with expected color, font or size but those issues is resolved using a Spatial ETL Tool.
