    PdfPageFacade pageFacade = processor.DocumentFacade.Pages[0];

    // Retrieve all free text annotations
    var freeTextAnnotations = pageFacade.Annotations.Where
            (annotation => annotation.Type == PdfAnnotationType.FreeText);
    foreach (PdfFreeTextAnnotationFacade freeText in freeTextAnnotations)
    {
        // Resize the text box:
        PdfPoint center = freeText.Rectangle.Center;
        freeText.TextRectangle = new PdfRectangle(center.X-15, center.Y-15, center.X+15, center.Y+15);
    }
    // Save the result
    processor.SaveDocument("..\\..\\Result.pdf");
}

  ' Retrieve all free text annotations
  Dim freeTextAnnotations = pageFacade.Annotations.Where(Function(annotation) annotation.Type = PdfAnnotationType.FreeText)
  For Each freeText As PdfFreeTextAnnotationFacade In freeTextAnnotations
    ' Resize the text box:
    Dim center As PdfPoint = freeText.Rectangle.Center
    freeText.TextRectangle = New PdfRectangle(center.X-15, center.Y-15, center.X+15, center.Y+15)
  Next freeText
