FreeText position does not work

[TatianaS]

Hello,
I would like to place my FreeText annotation on specific position (where mouse been clicked), however this js does not paint
my annotation in the right place. If I change FreeText annotation to Text, then the position is working right,
but I cant use Text because it looks like a StickyNote, but I need text box. Could you please take a look, maybe there are some other properties I can use to set position right.

var annot = this.addAnnot ({
page:0,
type: "FreeText",
point: [226, 404],
rect: [0,18,157,0],
width: 0,
textFont:"Arial",
fillColor: color.transparent
});
var spans = new Array();
spans[0] = new Object();
spans[0].textSize = 12;
spans[0].text = "Test Value";

My calculations of the rectangle were wrong, my bet

Hi, TatianaS.

Your script for adding the textboxes is incorrect. The correct script would be as follows:

var annot = this.addAnnot ({
page:0,
type: "FreeText",
rect: [0,100,200,0],
width: 1.0,
textFont:"Arial",
textSize: 20,
fillColor: color.transparent
});
if (annot != null)
annot.contents = "Test Text";

HTH.
