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.

@john.mcqueide we are able to successfully add annotation. After opening file in PDF viewer we could see both annotation and comment.

Here is a code

          * This example demonstrates adding arrow annotation.
          * </p>
          */
          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);
