get page(): PdfPage;
Gets or sets the PdfPage that contains this annotation. Note that an annotation may be referenced by several pages. In that case this property returns the first element in the pages collection. When setting this property, the following applies: If the new value is null, this annotation is removed from all pages. Otherwise, this annotation is assigned exclusively to the specified page.
set page(value): void;
Gets or sets the PdfPage that contains this annotation. Note that an annotation may be referenced by several pages. In that case this property returns the first element in the pages collection. When setting this property, the following applies: If the new value is null, this annotation is removed from all pages. Otherwise, this annotation is assigned exclusively to the specified page.
void

Gets the list of pages that reference this annotation.
get pdfRect(): Rect;
Gets or sets the rectangle that defines the location and size of the annotation on a page in PDF user space coordinates. The positive X axis extends horizontally to the right, and the positive Y axis extends vertically upward, with the origin usually in the lower left corner of the page.

Gets or sets the rectangle that defines the location and size of the annotation on a page in PDF user space coordinates. The positive X axis extends horizontally to the right, and the positive Y axis extends vertically upward, with the origin usually in the lower left corner of the page.
void
get rect(): Rect;
Gets or sets the rectangle that defines the location and size of the annotation on a page. The coordinates of the rectangle are relative to the upper left corner of the page's media box, with the Y (vertical) coordinates increasing from top to bottom. Note that if the annotation is associated with more than one page, the media box of the first of those pages is used to calculate the rectangle's location.
set rect(value): void;
Gets or sets the rectangle that defines the location and size of the annotation on a page. The coordinates of the rectangle are relative to the upper left corner of the page's media box, with the Y (vertical) coordinates increasing from top to bottom.

number
set rotationAngle(value): void;

number
void
createAppearanceContentStream(): FormXObject;
Creates an instance of FormXObject that can be used to define the annotation's appearance stream. Note that when this method is called, the annotation must already have been added to the document, otherwise an exception will be thrown.

void
removeAppearance(): void;
Removes all appearance streams associated with the current annotation, and disables generation of appearance steams for this annotation when the document is saved.
Note that if any property affecting the annotation's appearance 'rect' is then changed, the appearance streams will be regenerated. So this method would usually be called after initializing all annotation's properties.
void
AnnotationBase.removeAppearance
resetAppearance(): void;
Forces regeneration of the annotation's appearance streams next time the document is saved.
