[iOS] Using e_ptannot_read_only on an annotation not working

Technical Support Apryse SDK

Hi,

When using "[annotation SetFlag:e_ptannot_read_only value:YES]" on an annotation, the annotation still editable.
I have the same behavior for "e_ptprint_annot"
Any suggestions ?

You would modify the PanTool.m file, in particular the locations where nextToolType = [AnnotEditTool class]; is called.

Note that the read_only flag doesn’t apply to Widget (fields) annotation types.

If this doesn’t help, please clarify your objective, and why read_only is important for you.

Thanks for your reply.

We don’t have access to your .m, we use your SDK.
We need read_only to lock annotations that already exist on the document.

I faced it up by overriding PDFViewCtrl and check if there is a server id for the selected annotation :

`

CGPoint point = [gestureRecognizer locationInView:self];

PTAnnot* annot = [self annotFromPoint:point]
if ([annot IsValid]) {

if ([annot customId]) {

[super handleTap:gestureRecognizer];

NSLog(@“Valid Annotation with Custom ID : %@”, [annot customId]);
}

}
