To add a free text annotation, you can use

public bool AddAnnotEditbox(PDFRect rect, int line_clr, float line_w, int fill_clr, float tsize, int text_clr);

example:

PDFPage page = m_doc.GetPage(i);
page.ObjsStart();
var rect = new PDFRect
 {
          bottom = 250,
           left = 150,
           right = 250,
           top = 150
 };               
page.AddAnnotEditbox(rect, 0x000000, 3, 0xffffff, 10, 0x000000);

to add text to the page content, you can check add text part in Add text to document (Windows)

Dear Alok,
as you see the multiline text box are handled with modal edit-text to avoid some limitations and lack of speed of MS Windows APIs.
For these reasons I’m sorry to inform you that we won’t support inlined multiline edit text.

To add the support of free-text annotation, as the rect annotation for example, you need to:
(the method body can be added easily as the rect annotation for example)

Add a new status in PDFV_STATUS
...
STA_LINE = 8,
STA_FREE_TEXT = 9
}
Add a method to start the free-text status (and call it based on your user event)

public bool vFreeTextStart()
	{
		if (m_doc == null || !m_doc.CanSave || m_pages == null) return false;
		if (m_status == PDFV_STATUS.STA_NONE)
		{
			m_status = PDFV_STATUS.STA_FREE_TEXT;
			...
		}
		return false;
	}

Add a method to cancel the free-text status (and call it based on your user event)

public void vFreeTextCancel()
	{
		if (m_status == PDFV_STATUS.STA_FREE_TEXT)
		{
			...
		}
	}

Add a method to end the free-text status and add the annotation (and call it based on your user event)

public void vFreeTextEnd()
	{
		if (m_status == PDFV_STATUS.STA_FREE_TEXT)
		{
			...
		}
	}

Add a method to handle touch down event

private bool OnFreeTextTouchBegin(Point point)
    {
		...
	}

Add in vOnTouchDown method a call to a method to handle the free-text annotation
...
if (OnFreeTextTouchBegin(pt)) return;
...
Add a method to handle touch move event

private bool OnFreeTextTouchMove(Point point)
    {
		...
	}

Add in vOnTouchMove method a call to a method to handle the free-text annotation
...
if (OnFreeTextTouchMove(pt)) return;
...
Add a method to handle touch end event

private bool OnFreeTextTouchEnd(Point point)
    {
		...
	}

Add in vOnTouchUp method a call to a method to handle the free-text annotation
...
if (OnFreeTextTouchEnd(pt)) return;
...
Add a method to draw the free-text annotation

private void drawFreeText()
	{
		...
	}

Add in vDraw method a call to a method to draw the free-text annotation

...
	drawAnnot();
	drawInk();
	drawEllipse();
	drawRects();
	drawLines();
	drawFreeText();
	...
