Add text annotation

A Text Annotation serves as a designated placeholder within a document where the recipient is required to enter text. You can include one or more text annotations in a document. Learn more about Annotations.

You will also need to add a document to the envelope and set a recipient using signing steps. You will get the recipient_id from the response of the signing steps and the document_id from the response of the document upload.

Coordinates of the annotation are passed in % of the page dimensions (from 0 to 100) counting from the top left corner
