Arrow and distance annotation don’t appear in PDF documents, we can see the comments but not the annotation. I made the test by the Spring Demo Aplication and by Java Samples.

* This example demonstrates adding arrow annotation.

public class AddArrowAnnotation {
   public static void run() {
       String outputPath = Constants.getOutputFilePath("AddArrowAnnotation", FilenameUtils.getExtension(Constants.INPUT));
       final Annotator annotator = new Annotator(Constants.INPUT);
       Reply reply1 = new Reply();
       reply1.setComment("First comment");
       reply1.setRepliedOn(Calendar.getInstance().getTime());
       Reply reply2 = new Reply();
       reply2.setComment("Second comment");
       reply2.setRepliedOn(Calendar.getInstance().getTime());
       java.util.List<Reply> replies = new ArrayList<Reply>();
       replies.add(reply1);
       replies.add(reply2);
