How to get Free Text annotations to resize to the shape of a bounding box?

Question:
I am trying to fit text into a bounding box, but not sure what font size I should set to make sure it fits exactly.

Answer:
You can set the Font Size of a Free Text annotation to 0, and then refresh the appearance.

This autosizes the text to fit within the bounding box. Note that this doesn’t create variable font size text, changing the annotation in the resulting PDF will not autosize the text.
