The Contents can accept a variable in (.VariableName) format, to specify a dynamic value for the annotation content. If the Content property is in the (.VariableName) format, the value will be expanded, otherwise, it will be treated as normal text. •Opacity - Specifies the amount of visibility for the annotation object. An opacity of 0 would allow for text or an image to be placed behind the PDF Annotation, to utilize a custom annotation object. •Subject - Specifies the object's subject within the PDF output properties •Title - Specifies the text title on the PDF output. The Title can accept a variable in (.VariableName) format, to specify a dynamic value for the annotation title. If the Title property is in the (.VariableName) format, the value will be expanded, otherwise, it will be treated as normal text. •Annotation Type - Specifies the annotation type •Comment •Key •Note •Help •New Paragraph •Paragraph •Insert •Check •Checkmark •Circle •Cross •Cross Hairs •Right Arrow •Right Pointer •Star •Up Arrow •Up Left Arrow •Lock Control - Locks the selected control(s) to prevent any accidental changes •Lock Size - Locks the selected control(s) to specifically prevent accidental size changes •Position - Opens the Position dialog window for specifying hard-coded coordinates •Reprint On Overflow - Reprint On Overflow applies to situations where a stretchable component is stretching across pages. If the text overflows onto a new page, any components that are on the same band will reprint on the new page (if Reprint On Overflow is checked). •Shift With Parent - Shift With Parent applies to situations where a stretchable component is stretching. If Shift With Parent is checked, the report component will move based on the amount of stretching the text requires. When you want components to appear at the bottom of a memo, this is a useful feature. If the memo stretches to a new page, the components will print on the next page. •Visible - The Visible property determines whether a report component will be printed •Help - Launches the Help file chapter for the specific control
