Hi dcheli
Thanks for contacting us for support.
From the code, I see that it is not correct just directly passing the undefined xfdfString to the function getFileData. Instead of doing this could you please try:

  instance.Core.annotationManager.exportAnnotations().then(async (xfdfString) => {
    const data = await doc.getFileData({
      // saves the document with annotations in it
      xfdfString,
    });
  });
