Dear pdftron support,

i'm asking me, how can i set the font size in freetext annotations. if
i resize annotations, font size changes - and sometimes the size is
rather small.

Kind regards,
Simon

Hello Simon,

Did you try using: freetext.SetDefaultAppearance("/Helv 20 Tf 0 0 1
rg");

For example:

pdftron.PDF.Annots.FreeText default_annot = new FreeText
(pdfview.GetDefaultAnnotation("FreeText").GetSDFObj());
default_annot.SetDefaultAppearance("/Helv 20 Tf 0 0 1 rg");

Similarly you can set the default color for different annotation types
as follows:

_pdfview.GetDefaultAnnotation("Arrow").SetColor(new ColorPt(0, 0,
1));
_pdfview.GetDefaultAnnotation("Line").SetColor(new ColorPt(0, 0, 1));
_pdfview.GetDefaultAnnotation("Circle").SetColor(new ColorPt(0, 0,
1));
_pdfview.GetDefaultAnnotation("Square").SetColor(new ColorPt(0, 0,
1));
_pdfview.GetDefaultAnnotation("PolyLine").SetColor(new ColorPt(0, 0,
1));
_pdfview.GetDefaultAnnotation("Polygon").SetColor(new ColorPt(0, 0,
1));
_pdfview.GetDefaultAnnotation("Text").SetColor(new ColorPt(0, 0, 1));
_pdfview.GetDefaultAnnotation("FreeText").SetColor(new ColorPt(0, 0,
1));

The string on the above line will use default 20pt size and blue text.
