Hi Jay,Query: No one can comment/edit the pdf document?You can protect the PDF document by editing annotations and form fields. To
achieve this, you need to flatten the annotations and form fields on loading
and should remove the annotation, form fields, and form designer modules at the
user level. For your reference, we have provided a sample below. Kindly refer to it and
let us know if the solution provided is helpful to you

Hi Jay,To allow the current user to edit the PDF, you can use
the author property of the annotation. Using this, you can compare with the
current user and prevent the flatten option for the current user. For your
reference, we have provided the screenshot and sample below, and let us know if
the suggested solution was helpful to you.StackBlitz link: https://stackblitz.com/edit/react-2w3y75-xzjsho?file=index.jsWeb service: https://www.syncfusion.com/downloads/support/directtrac/general/ze/comments_for_specfic_user1362140716.zipRegard,Arun kumar
