int32_t __stdcall pdfFreeTextAnnotA(PPDF IPDF, double PosX, double PosY, double Width, double Height, const char* Author, const char* AText, TTextAlign Align);
int32_t __stdcall pdfFreeTextAnnotW(PPDF IPDF, double PosX, double PosY, double Width, double Height, const wchar_t* Author, const wchar_t* AText, TTextAlign Align);

Delphi

function pdfFreeTextAnnotA(const IPDF: PPDF; PosX, PosY, Width, Height: Double; const Author, AText: PAnsiChar; Align: TTextAlign): Integer; stdcall;
function pdfFreeTextAnnotW(const IPDF: PPDF; PosX, PosY, Width, Height: Double; const Author, AText: PWideChar; Align: TTextAlign): Integer; stdcall;
