Set Default Properties of Annotations

You can set the default properties of annotations in the Web PDF Viewer. The following code shows you how to set the default properties of annotations:

// You can get all tools
const toolNames = Object.keys(documentViewer.getToolModeMap());

// You can also get the styles of a specific tool, for example, the free text tool.
const freeTextTool = documentViewer.getTool(Tools.ToolNames.FREETEXT);
const textToolStyles = { ...freeTextTool.defaults };

// Set the default properties of free text annotations.
freeTextTool.setStyles({
  Font: 'Helvetica',
  RichTextStyle: { 0: { 'font-style': 'normal', 'font-weight': 'normal' } },
  FontSize: '14pt',
  TextAlign: 'left',
  TextColor: new Annotations.Color(0, 0, 0),
  StrokeThickness: 0,
  StrokeColor: new Annotations.Color(0, 0, 0),
  StrokeStyle: 'solid',
  FillColor: null, // No fill.
  Opacity: 1
});
