This is the base class for all annotations.

A PDFAnnotation object by itself is not useful, only the subclasses (like PDFAnnotationCircle, PDFAnnotationText) are interesting. In parsing a PDF however, any unknown or unsupported annotations will be represented as this base class. Its drawRect method merely frames the bounds of the annotation and prints the annotation type (like "TrapNet") within the box.
