The following code demonstrates how to add SquigglyAnnotation to the document:

//Add squiggly annotation to the document from local disk
using (Annotator annotator = new Annotator("input.pdf"))
{
	SquigglyAnnotation squiggly = new SquigglyAnnotation
    {
    	CreatedOn = DateTime.Now,
        FontColor = 65535,
        BackgroundColor = 16761035,
        Message = "This is squiggly annotation",
        Opacity = 0.7,
        PageNumber = 0,
        SquigglyColor = 1422623, //Supported only Word and PDF
        Points = new List<Point>
        {
        	new Point(80, 730), new Point(240, 730), new Point(80, 650), new Point(240, 650)
        },
        Replies = new List<Reply>
        {
        	new Reply
            {

                RepliedOn = DateTime.Now
            },
            new Reply
            {
            	Comment = "Second comment",
