For copying of data at the level that you need - you should
be skipping the high level objects and going directly to the PDF data
structures. That is really your problem - you are too high ;).

setup the /Annots array on each page as well...

Yes!

Add it to the /Page dictionary of that Page.

They are a way to refer to another object w/o copying the
actual data multiple times in the PDF.
