    Reply reply2 = new Reply();
    reply2.setComment("This comment will NOT be applied");
    reply2.setRepliedOn(Calendar.getInstance().getTime());
    User user2 = new User(1, "Member", Role.Viewer);
    reply2.setUser(user2);

    java.util.List<Reply> replies = new ArrayList<>();
    replies.add(reply1);
    replies.add(reply2);

    AreaAnnotation area = new AreaAnnotation();
	...

    searchText.setText("We make document");
    searchText.setFontSize(10.);
    searchText.setFontFamily("Calibri");
    searchText.setFontColor(65535);

    annotator.add(searchText);
    annotator.save(outputPath);
}

	String dataDir = ...; // specify the path to the input PDF file
	String data = "...\\image.jpg";
	int pageNumber = 1; // set the page where the image will be inserted
	int imageQuality = 10; // set image quality from 1 to 100

}
