I need to create formFields that can be moved and resized and then converted to fillable form fields.
The documentation suggests to create formFields placeholders.
I’m using startFormFieldCreationMode, but i want to create formFields placeholder programatically and not using PDFTron’s UI.

Guides:Hi Laxman,
FormField placeholder annotations are just Rectangle annotations that have a FormField type key.
Here is an example of creating a placeholder annotation.
const { UI, Core } = instance;
const { Annotations, documentViewer, annotationManager } = Core;
const { Color } = Annotations;
const formFieldManager = annotationManager.getFormFieldCreationManager();
documentViewer.addEventListener('annotationsLoaded', () => {
formFieldManager.startFormFieldCreationMode();
const annot = new Annotations.RectangleAnnotation({
PageNumber: 1,
X: 100,
Y: 50,
Width: 500,
Height: 500,
StrokeColor: new Color(0, 0, 0, 1),
FillColor: new Color(211, 211, 211, 0.5),
FontSize: '12px',
});
annot.setCustomData('trn-form-field-type', 'TextFormField') // Required to be a form field placeholder
formFieldManager.setFieldName(annot, "TextFormField 1")
annotationManager.addAnnotation(annot)
annotationManager.redrawAnnotation(annot);
// formFieldManager.endFormFieldCreationMode(); // End Creation mode to apply the field as a widget
});

Hello, I want to create a formField placeholder from code without asking the user for input (the default one it shows).
is there any way that is possible? An answer would be much appreciated.
