TextWidget: Vertical text alignment

[pdftronusr-001]

Product: PDFNet.dll (PDFNet SDK for .NET)

Product Version: 9.4.8.503

The text alignment is vertical-centered.

using (PDFDoc doc = new PDFDoc())
{
	// Create a blank new page and add some form fields.
	Page blank_page = doc.PageCreate();

	// Text Widget Creation 
	TextWidget text1 = TextWidget.Create(doc, new Rect(100, 600, 350, 730));
	text1.SetText("Single-line Text ABC");
	text1.SetBorderColor(new ColorPt(0, 0, 0), 3);
	text1.RefreshAppearance();

	blank_page.AnnotPushBack(text1);

	doc.RefreshFieldAppearances();				

	doc.Save(output_path + "forms_test1.pdf", 0);
}

Is it possible that the text starts vertically at the top like this?

How can I add decorations to an annotation?

Question: I want to add some extra content, such as text, to annotations, such as the line annotation. How do I do that? Answer: The best thing to do is use our default appearance, and then overlay with your own content. After calling Annot.RefreshAppearance, you would call something like the following. static public void AddDecorations(Annots.Line line, PDFDoc doc) { ElementReader reader = new ElementReader(); ElementWriter writer = new ElementWriter(); ElementBuilder builder = new Element…
