API to show / hide the Annotations toolbar

[Arthur Butler]

Is there an API to show / hide the Annotations toolbar?  I have added a custom toolbar and would like to use just the Annotations toolbar of the SfPdfViewer.

Arthur

Hi Arthur, 

Thank you for contacting Suncfusion support. 

We can enable/disable the Annotation Toolbar using the EnableAnnotationToolbar toolbar API available in the PDF Viewer. 

<SfPdfViewer @ref="PDFViewer" DocumentPath="PDF_Succinctly.pdf" ServiceUrl="https://ej2services.syncfusion.com/production/web-services/api/pdfviewer" EnableAnnotationToolbar="false" Height="100%" Width="100%" >    

</SfPdfViewer> 

Please try it and revert us with more details about your requirement, use case scenario and if you need any further assistance. 

Regards,

EnableAnnotationToolbar seems to just enable or disable the Annotation button on the main toolbar.  What I am wanting to do is to have an API that will show or hide the complete Annotation Toolbar - basically, the same functionality as the Annotation button on the main toolbar.  And I want do do this while setting EnableToolbar = false.

Regards,

Arthur

Thank you!  That works.  Is there a similar call to open the "Handwritten Initials" window?

At present, Blazor PDF Viewer does not offer support for initials. Nevertheless, I can provide you with the code snippet that allows you to open handwritten signature dialog alone directly.

Code Snippet:

<div class="control-section">

     <SfPdfViewerServer @ref="viewer" DocumentPath="@DocumentPath" Height="640px" Width="100%">

        <PdfViewerEvents DocumentLoaded="DocumentLoad"></PdfViewerEvents>

    </SfPdfViewerServer>

</div>

@code {

    SfPdfViewerServer viewer;

    public async void DocumentLoad(LoadEventArgs args)

    {

        await viewer.SetAnnotationModeAsync(AnnotationType.HandWrittenSignature);

    }

    private string DocumentPath { get; set; } = "wwwroot/data/pdfviewer/hand-written-signature.pdf";

}
