Hi William,

Thanks for using our products.

Can you please share the source PDF file and the code snippet which you have used, so that we can test the scenario at our end.

During my testing with code snippet specified over Set Formatting of FreeTextAnnotation link, the FreeTextAnnotation is properly being added to PDF file.

Hi there,


Thank for your sharing the deatils. It seems you are facing issue due to evaluation version. As Aspose.Pdf evaluation version has two limitations, evaluation watermark and at most four elements of any collection can be viewed/accessed. Please make a request for 30 days temporary license to evaluate our product without any limitation. Hopefully your issue will be resolved.

Please feel free to contact us for any further assistance.

Best Regards,

Thank you. That did work. One other question. It puts a red box around the text in that example. Is it possible to just have the text and not the rectangle?

Hi William,


Thanks for your patience. You can set border color by using
FreetextAnnotation.Characteristics.Border property. Please check following code snippet for the purpose.

‘create annotation
Dim freetext As New FreeTextAnnotation(pdfDocument.Pages(1), New Aspose.Pdf.Rectangle(200, 400, 400, 600), default_appearance)

’ specify the contents of annotation
freetext.Contents = “Free Text”

’ set border color
freetext.Characteristics.Border = System.Drawing.Color.Transparent


Please feel free to contact us for any further assistance.
