Remarks

The annotation may contain additional entries specific to a particular annotation type; see the descriptions of individual annotation type.

A annotation may be referenced from the PdfAnnotationCollection that assigned with one page only. Attempting to share an annotation among multiple pages produces unpredictable behavior.This requirement applies only to the annotation itself, not to subsidiary objects, which can be shared among multiple annotations without causing any difficulty
