Winnovative HTML to PDF Converter allows you to add text notes to a PDF document. The text notes are created by adding WinnovativeClientTextNoteElement objects to a PDF document. You can add text notes with various types of icons to a PDF document. Also, the text notes can be initially in an open or closed state.
