You can draw an existing PDF onto a new PDF graphics context and then add whatever you like. See the answer to a similar question for iPhone.

You could use the PoDoFo Library to add, read or delete the Annotations. But you will need to write your own viewer to display the pdf including the annotations.

I recently wrote a simple viewer for the iPad with the integration of the PoDoFo Library. You can find the very simple sample code on GitHub. There you can work with Square and FreeText annotations.
