Hello Logan,  
Greetings!

Hope you are doing well.  
My question is i want to programatically put the free text tool box in middle of  
the page with programatically given font-size,thickness,background color, border color and  
text inside it and will be able to resize and move that box anywhere on page.

So is it possible here?

Regards  
Thank you

Hey there!

[Here is an example](https://pdfjs.express/documentation/annotation/create-annotation-free-text) of programmatically creating a freetext annotation.

The [API reference](https://pdfjs.express/api/Annotations.FreeTextAnnotation.html) can help you find out what properties are editable.

Please let me know if there are any more questions!  
Thanks,  
Logan

we used StrokeThickness property to solve that problem.
