I came up with a solution for such a problem in a previous job (which means I don't have access to the code anymore). The process I used was to create test documents in all rotations, with annotations in all four rotations in Adobe Acrobat. I then analyzed the files and came up with a transformation for every case. I then just used a switch statement for the four different page rotations to place my annotation in the correct spot.
