Hi Lakshan,

Could you provide some more information to help with this issue.

  1. Could you please describe exactly what the issue is that you are experiencing?
  2. Could you provide the PDF that this issue is happening on?
  3. What version of PDFjs Express does this appear on?

Best Regards,

We are programmatically generating free text with each annotation using below code

            const freeText = new Annotations.FreeTextAnnotation();
            var timeStamp = serverTime ? serverTime : moment().format("MM-DD-YYYY HH:mm:ss");
            freeText.PageNumber = PageNumber; //el.PageNumber;
            freeText.X = X; //el.LeftMost;
            freeText.Y = Y + Height; //el.BottomMost;
            freeText.Width = authorWidth;
            freeText.Height = authorHeight;
            freeText.setContents(userObj.nickname + "\n" + timeStamp);
            freeText.FontSize = "12pt";
            freeText.Locked = true;
            freeText.NoDelete = true;
            freeText.LockedContents = true;
            freeText.NoMove = true;
            freeText.StrokeThickness = 0;
            freeText.Id = el.Ry + "-author";
            freeText.Subject = "author";
            freeText.TextColor = new Annotations.Color(59, 108, 180);
            annotManager.addAnnotation(freeText);
            annotManager.redrawAnnotation(freeText);

But for some documents this text is getting rotated. Can you tell me a way to place free text annotations fixed without rotating no matter what the orientation is

Hello lakshan,

We have the .NoRotate property on the annotation you can set
