The annotation I tried to use is a TEXT annotation, (not an "External Link",
not an "External PDF file", not a "Named Action", nor an "Application").
I occurs to me the only way to create a TEXT annotaion is like this:
Annotation myHumbleTextAnnotation = new Annotation("Title", "Some lenghy
string here....");
And it seems there is no way to put the "myHumbleTextAnnotation" at an
absolute location
on a PdfContentByte object.
Please advice,
Thanks a lot,
Don

Bruno,
Is the usage of PdfContentByte.add(Annotation a) like this:
PdfContentByte.add(Annotation a, float x, float y) // x, y is the absolute
position the annotation intends to be located.
Thanks a lot,
Don

Oops, I have just put a jar compiled from my current code
in http://www.lowagie.com/iText/downloads/updates/
It contains a PdfContentByte.add(Annotation a) method.
I didn't test it. Maybe Don can try it out as a temporary
solution... (The source is in CVS.)
kind regards,
Bruno
