Dear all, I'm trying to create by code a text box with some text in it with
a bold title (black backfrop) as shown in the image below. I know in Acrobat
you can do this using the textbox tool and so I had a go at that, and the
only way I found to get it to look like as in the image below is to create a
text box containing the body text and leaving some space at the top, then
create another text box that has a dark background and white text to place
on top of the text box with white background. I can't figure out how to
create the shadowy borders however. Any ideas?

I haven't tried creating the boxes mentioned above by code, the text will
have be pulled out from the PDF too and placed inside the text box. I
imagine I'd have to be creating rectangles and place PDEText inside these?
Or am I missing some new / hidden API calls for text boxes?

Any help appreciated thanks a million!

Thanks,

Julius
