I can't seem to get the annotation to appear on the page. This is
what I'm doing:
PdfAnnotation.createText(writer, new Rectangle(200, 200, 250, 250),
"title", "message", true, "Note");
Do I need to do anything else here? (Obviously I've created the
writer before hand.)
Basicaly I'm trying to replace the following line:
document.add(new Annotation("title", "message", 200, 200, 250, 250
));
Thanks.
