Creating Floating Annotations
PDFReport XP allow developers to insert small floating annotations on the PDF page. This can be very useful as you can insert into it a Copyright notice, a legal statement, a note, a last validity date for a price list etc etc.
The function is very simple:
PDFREPORT.AddTextAnnotation(xpos, ypos, text)
The first 2 parameters are the x, y coordinates of the annotation icon, expressed in current unit of measures. You can use integers or floating point values to obtain more precision.
The last parameter is the text to be written.This annotations can be opened in Acrobat Reader simply by Double Clicking them.
