I’m creating and inserting a freetext annotation using this code

const freeText = new this.annotations.FreeTextAnnotation();
            freeText.setAutoSizeType('auto');
            freeText.X = x;
            freeText.Y = y;
            freeText.PageNumber = page;
            // freeText.Width = width;
            // freeText.Height = height;
            freeText.Subject = subject;
            freeText.TextAlign = 'center';
            freeText.StrokeThickness = 0;
            freeText.IsHoverable = true;
            freeText.TextVerticalAlign = 'center';
            freeText.TextColor = new this.annotations.Color(0, 0, 0);
            freeText.setContents(contents);
            freeText.setPadding(new this.annotations.Rect(0, 0, 0, 0))
            freeText.FontSize = '12pt';
            freeText.setCustomData('uniqueId', this.uniqueId);

that.annotationManager.addAnnotation(annotation, {autoFocus: false});
                    that.annotationManager.redrawAnnotation(annotation);
                    that.annotationManager.deselectAllAnnotations()
                    that.annotationManager.selectAnnotation(annotation)

this code generates the annotation just fine but width and height are not adjusted to content and i get this

if i uncomment height and width properties it looks like this

this one looks fine but if i change font size it doesn’t change annotation dimensions and that’s my issue, any advice to make this work will be appreciated
