Taking a look at the innards of just such an annotation, I see the following:
The new text annot has an IRT (in regards to?) key in its dictionary that is an indirect reference to the first text annotation.
The creation date is stored in the “CreationDate” key, the modification date is stored under “M”. The text displayed where you see “Reply 1” is in the “T” key.
All this stuff requires that you directly manipulate the annotation via the methods it inherits from
PdfDictionary,put()in particular.You’ll need to read the PDF Reference a lot, particularly chapter 7 section 3, and chapter 12 section 5.
Good hunting.
