I'm trying to create a new text annotation with the PdfViewer.

The following code adds the annotation, BUT I can't seem to see the default text OR click into the annotation and edit or add more text.

FViewer.PdfViewer.Annotations.NewTextAnnotation(DR, 'Add text here');

Hi Jeff

A text annotation is not visible as text (unlike a text object). It appears as a hover hint:

To show annotations, iepoAnnotations must be specified in ImageEnView1.PdfViewer.Options (which is the default).

I do have that in PdfEditor.Options. Here's what it looks like. The annotation is there. I just can't click into it and add text.

See the annotations demo which allows editing of the text in annotations:

I did. I can't double click into that text annotation either. I'm I just not understanding how the PDF text annotation works. I'm expecting something similar to the image layer text where I draw a rectangle and then I click into it to start typing text.

Hi Jeff

There is no support at this time for displaying an editor when editing a text object or annotation. I've added it to the to-do list.
