agent = Agent(
    role="PDF Editor",
    goal="Annotate PDFs",
    backstory="Documentation specialist",
    tools=[tool],
    verbose=True,
)

task = Task(
    description="Write 'CONFIDENTIAL' at (72, 720) on page 1 of ./sample.pdf",
    expected_output="Confirmation message",
    agent=agent,
)

crew = Crew(
    agents=[agent],
    tasks=[task],
    verbose=True,
)

result = crew.kickoff()
```

### Direct usage

```python Code
from crewai_tools import PDFTextWritingTool

PDFTextWritingTool().run(

  font_size=18,
  page_number=0,
)
```

## Tips

- Coordinate origin is the bottom‑left corner.
- If using a custom font (`font_file`), ensure it is a valid `.ttf`.
