+## Setting Annotation Intent in PdfFreeTextAnnotation
+
+The [PdfAnnotationIntent.FreeTextTypeWriter](https://help.syncfusion.com/cr/document-processing/Syncfusion.Pdf.Interactive.PdfAnnotationIntent.html#fields) value specifies that a `free text annotation` in a PDF should behave like a `typewriter-style input field`. This intent is especially useful for simulating manual typing on forms or documents, enabling users to add clear, typed comments or responses.

 ## Adding comments and review status to the PDF annotation
 
 The PDF annotations may have an author-specific state associated with them. The state is not specified in the annotation itself, but it represents a separate text annotation ([Popup Annotation](https://help.syncfusion.com/cr/document-processing/Syncfusion.Pdf.Interactive.PdfPopupAnnotation.html)).
