public final class AnnotationWriter extends Object
Class writes annotations to PDF file Example: 


 File inputFile = new File("location of input pdf file");
 File outputFile = new File("location of output pdf file");

 //usage of text annotation
 TextAnnotation a1 = new TextAnnotation(0, 100, 100, 200, 150, "sticky note");

 //usage of freetext annotation
 FreeTextAnnotation a2 = new FreeTextAnnotation(0, 300, 150, 200, 200, "free text");

 //usage of line annotation
 LineAnnotation a3 = new LineAnnotation(0, 100, 200, 200, 250, 100, 200, 200, 250);

 //usage of link annotation
 LinkAnnotation a4 = new LinkAnnotation(0, 100, 250, 200, 300, "http://www.google.com");

 //usage of polygon annotation
 PolygonAnnotation a5 = new PolygonAnnotation(0, 100, 300, 200, 350, new float[]{120, 310, 170, 325, 110, 340});
 a5.setNonStrokeColor(Color.YELLOW);

 //usage of polyline annotation
 PolyLineAnnotation a6 = new PolyLineAnnotation(0, 100, 350, 200, 400, new float[]{120, 360, 170, 385, 110, 390});
 a6.setNonStrokeColor(Color.BLUE);

 //usage of square annotation
 SquareAnnotation a7 = new SquareAnnotation(0, 100, 400, 200, 450);
 a7.setNonStrokeColor(Color.PINK);

 //usage of circle annotation
 CircleAnnotation a8 = new CircleAnnotation(0, 100, 450, 200, 500);
 a8.setNonStrokeColor(Color.ORANGE);

 //usage of ink annotation
 float[] curve1 = {110, 510, 110, 540};
 float[] curve2 = {150, 510, 110, 525, 150, 540};
 ArrayList<float[]> linkList = new ArrayList<float[]>();
 linkList.add(curve1);
 linkList.add(curve2);
 InkAnnotation a9 = new InkAnnotation(0, 100, 500, 200, 550, linkList);
 a9.setStrokeColor(Color.BLUE);

 //usage of Highlight Annotation
 float[] quadPoints = new float[]{200, 200, 300, 200, 200, 100, 300, 100};
 HighlightAnnotation a10 = new HighlightAnnotation(0, 200, 100, 300, 200, quadPoints);

 //now writeout all annotation to file
 writeAnnotations(inputFile, outputFile, new WritableAnnotation[]{a1, a2, a3, a4, a5, a6, a7, a8, a9, a10});
