Showing Image or Text on top of an Enhanced PDF

Hi,

The only way I have found to show text or an image on an Enhanced PDF is to attach the test or image to an annotation. From what I understand the contents of an Enhanced PDF or at least ours is actually inside its own annotation. Thus anything we add to the PDF is not visible (behind) the contents of the PDF. Is there way to have a drawn image or text be drawn overtop an Enhanced PDF? Something like a z-order / z-index setting?

Thanks,
Patrick

The best would be to upload one... I can look at it with PDFDebugger. If 
it has ordinary content streams, then it should be easy to add an image 
on top of the normal content stream. If content is really in an 
annotation, one would have to see how.

We call it here 3D PDF. Not use what the proper words to use for them. Basically they are Java Script enabled  PDFs...
