Hello Rikochet007,
To follow-up on your inquiry, you can make your custom button set the tool mode to Free Text like so:
document.getElementById("yourButton").onclick = (e) => {
instance.setToolMode("AnnotationCreateFreeText");
};
To set the contents of the Free Text, you can use the setContents() function on the Free Text Annotation.
You would probably also need to add an event handler in this case to capture when a new Free Text Annotation is created and set the contents there. We have a guide on Annotation Events here: PDFTron Systems Inc. | Documentation.
Hope this helps!
