Hi All,

  I am using iText to generate a PDF dynamically. The input is from a URL. I
want to create annotations to the content. I know the text for which the
annotation needs to be made. But the text can appear anywhere in the PDF. I
want to create annotations to this text. 

   eg. If the content has the word "iText", I want to create annotation to a
page explaining what iText is. But the word "iText" can be anywhere on the
page.

    The PdfAnnotation class requires the exact Rectangle dimensions. How do
I get the dimensions / position of the word "iText" at run time??

I have tried putting the content in a table and extracting the dimensions
using the getElement method (cast it to a Rectangle, although the
documentation says cell or table) and then use the bottom(), top(), left()
and right() methods. Unfortunately it didnt work - it gives all the values
as 0.0

Can anybody let me know if there is a way out??

Regards,
Midhun.
