Usage notes
- Unlike the text annotation icon (Text), a FreeText annotation is rendered directly on the page and can be read without any interaction
- If the annotation rectangle overlaps with page content, it will obscure the original content; when laying out, blank areas or margins on the page should be chosen
- The font and size of the annotation are determined by the PDF viewer's default style; for precise visual control, an extended interface with style parameters should be used
