>> The annotations are in the /Annots entry of the
page dictionary. You could try to fetch them,
apply a transformation to the rectangle that defines
their position, and copy them into the new document
I am randomly using many pdfs and so will not be sure on the exact
position of this annotations. I tried to get these annotations from the page
dictionary and write it to the new PDf but it fails .
My Code:
--------
PdfReader pdfReader= **
pdfWriter = PdfWriter.getInstance(pdfDocument,new
FileOutputStream("C:/final.pdf"));
pdfDocument.open();
//Lets consider pageN = 1
pageDic = pdfReader.getPageN(pageN);
pdfWriter.addToBody(pdfReader.getPdfObject(pageDic.get(PdfName.ANNOTS)) );
=> Throws NullPointerException
page = pdfWriter.getImportedPage(pdfReader, pageN); image =
Image.getInstance(page); image.scalePercent(50);
image.setAbsolutePosition(0, 0); pdfDirectContent.addImage(image);

the pdf.
