Customizing the Toolbar Buttons

You can enable or hide specific annotation types by setting the availableTypes property in the annotationsConfig object. The following example demonstrates how to only display the note and highlight annotation types.

let config = ComPDFKit.getDefaultConfig({
  annotationsConfig: {
    availableTypes: [
      CPDFAnnotationType.NOTE,
      CPDFAnnotationType.HIGHLIGHT
    ],
    availableTools: [
      CPDFConfigTool.SETTING,
      CPDFConfigTool.UNDO,
      CPDFConfigTool.REDO,
    ]
  }
});
ComPDFKit.openDocument(_document, '', config);

The customized toolbar will look like what’s shown below.
