ok....i hv a few doubts after some trial and error that i have done so
far...
firstly, when i set the appearance using
pa.setAppearance(PdfAnnotation.APPEARANCE_NORMAL, ap);
then i see 2 overlapping lines of text (which is understandable since this
is the "Normal" appearance.)
However, if I move ahead logically putting
pa.setAppearance(PdfAnnotation.APPEARANCE_DOWN, ap);
which is the appearance when the mouse is clicked in the annotation area,
then the area still remains blacked-out, which ideally should have displayed
some text when the area is clicked - so why this inconsistent behavior?
secondly, i tried the "AP" dictionary also.
When I create a PdfDictionary and try to put a value of the appearance
object for the PdfAnnotation.APPEARANCE_DOWN key, it is not allowed since
the dictionary object expects a PdfObject as a value
PdfAppearance ap =
writer.getDirectContent().createAppearance(rect.getWidth(),
rect.getHeight());
ap.beginText();
ap.setFontAndSize(bf, 10);
ap.showText(contents.getContent());
ap.endText();
PdfDictionary pd = new PdfDictionary();
pd.put(PdfAnnotation.APPEARANCE_DOWN, ap); // this is not
allowed
pa.put(PdfName.AP, pd);
writer.addAnnotation(pa);
pls advise

All of the data generated in your IT infrastructure is seriously valuable.
Why? It contains a definitive record of application performance, security
threats, fraudulent activity, and more. Splunk takes this data and makes
sense of it. IT sense. And common sense.
