Hello Jim,

The status of this feature request is Duplicated, please see related items for annotations and the links shared in the comments.

Regarding to the request for showing existing annotations correctly, please open a support ticket and share more details on the behavior you observe, add info which annotations you are using and images of the final result. Also share the pdf document you use for testing purposes. Thank you in advance.

If I interpreted this request correctly it asks for the ability to add annotations, while we would also be happy if showing annotations already in the PDF works correctly.

Should that already work out of the box in the latest version?

If so we have an example pdf where these don't show and if not should I create a separate feature request for only showing existing annotations correctly?

Hello Raymond,

We have a feature request about providing support for comment/text annotations for the PdfViewer, you can check it here:

PDF Viewer: Implement comment / text annotations

As to the basic shape annotations - currently they are not visualized in the PdfViewer and indeed, this is a valid feature request, still, I'd like to ask you to provide more details on the exact use case you have and what you mean with editing functionalities?

I look forward to your reply.

Yana
