GrapeCity.Documents.Pdf.Annotations.FreeTextAnnotation

FreeTextAnnotation Class

Represents a free text annotation that displays text directly on a page. Unlike an ordinary text annotation (see TextAnnotation), a free text annotation has no open or closed state. Instead of being displayed in a pop-up window, the text is always visible.
