Hi,

Could you clarify what you mean by disabling the selection and provide a high-level use case? What issue do you want to solve by disabling annotation selection?

From the video it seems to not show the selected outline but still shows the contextual menu.

Thanks
Andrew

I have a use case of just view a document with added ‘ANNOTATION’, and edit a document which already has an ‘ANNOTATION’ added. So user must only be allowed to select/view contextual menu etc. only in EDIT mode not in VIEW mode.

Similar use case is handled by IOS sdk, and here is the code they have used. Kindly help to resolve the same in ANDROID sdk too.

func toolManager(_ toolManager: PTToolManager,
           shouldSelectAnnotation annotation: PTAnnot,
           onPageNumber pageNumber: UInt) -> Bool {
    return false
  }

Hi,

It is possible to disable annotation editing using the tool manager builder disableAnnotEditing.

This function takes an array of annotation types you would like to disable, for example, a typical use case for this is to disable annotation editing but keep form filling.

Please see sample Java code below:

        ToolManagerBuilder builder = ToolManagerBuilder.from()
                .disableAnnotEditing(new int[]{
                        Annot.e_Ink
                })

Best,
Eamon

Can you please provide the sample code to disable editing annotation in view mode? Please provide code snippet in typescript angular code.
