Callout Text
Callout text is a type of annotation that looks like a text box with an arrow pointing to a specific location on the document. It can be placed anywhere on an imaged document. Once placed, you can view or edit its text; change its color; move the box or the arrow to a different location on the image; view its history, creator, creation date and last modification date; mark it as protected or private; or delete it.
