Thanks again for the hint and quick reply.
Just to be sure that I unerstood you correctly, check my logic. If I want to
create appearance, I should :
- create PdfStream object which will represent actual appearance stream,
- then I should set appearance's dictionary entries by proper values (with
in-depth values assignment - I mean PageResources dictionary an other
complex entries)
- somehow set byte stream of the appearance object, and then
- produce proper PdfDictionary appearance dictionary object for "AP" entry
from annotation dictionary,
- put into appearance dictionary an already prepared PdfStream object under
desired key ("N", "R" or "D") and
- put appearance dictionary object under the key "AP" into annotation
dictionary.
Am I correct ? If I am, please, tell me, how to set my byte stream into
PdfStream object, and I'll be fine. :)

Basically, you MUST go low level on this one - working at the
actual "PDF object" level (aka PdfDict, etc.) to get & set each of the
values in teh equivalent dictionaries - since that's really what you are
doing.
