Please give a brief summary of your issue:
Webviewer server annotations

Please describe your issue and provide steps to reproduce it:
Annotations are not received and not displayed while files are loaded by webviewer server, but if I will replace loading doc by webviewer server and just put doc url into initialDoc property - all works fine, and also if I remove webviewerServerURL property all works fine to.

Please provide a link to a minimal sample where the issue is reproducible:

const instance = await WebViewer(
          {
            path: '/WebViewer/lib',
            fullAPI: true,
            licenseKey: license,
            enableAnnotations: true,
            preloadWorker: 'pdf',
            webviewerServerURL: pdfTronServerUrl,
            singleServerMode: true
          },
          viewer.current as HTMLElement
);
   instance.UI.loadDocument(docUrl, {
        filename: fileName,
        customHeaders: {
          ...headers
        }
      });

Annotations were stored by this way:

  const handleGetFile = useCallback(async () => {
    const { documentViewer, annotationManager, SaveOptions } = instance.Core;
    const receivedDoc = documentViewer.getDocument();
    const xfdfString = await annotationManager.exportAnnotations();
    const options = {
      xfdfString,
      flags: SaveOptions.LINEARIZED,
      downloadType: 'pdf'
    };
    const data = await receivedDoc.getFileData(options);
    const arr = new Uint8Array(data);
    const blob = new Blob([arr], { type: 'application/pdf' });
    const { closeElements } = instance.UI;
    closeElements(['menuOverlay']);
  }, [instance]);

Hello Kostiantyn,

Welcome to the PDFTron Community Forum!

Checking out your code snippets, I noticed that after blob is created it is not used anywhere, if you upload that blob to the server, it will save the PDF with the annotation XFDF string.

We have a guide on merging imported/exported annotations here:

Specifically I would recommend this guide, as the code is very similar to what you are doing:
