How to draw an annotation over a link without following the link

[kkim]

Hi there,

Thanks for contacting WebViewer forums,

Certain tools have an API called enableCreationOverAnnotation() where you can draw an annotation over another annotation:

Note that this method will still trigger a link confirmation modal but you will be able to create the annotation.

You can also use the Listable property as shown in this forum post:

How to disable clicks or any mouse events on annotation

WebViewer Version: 8.9.0 (javascript) I want to create highlight areas on a pdf from the viewer, which I managed to do by tweaking the PolygonAnnotation. This allows me to draw shapes on my pdf like this: [image] However, the area remains hoverable and when you click on it, a rectangular area is drawn around the annotation (I don’t want that): [image] Can you explain me how to totally remove the mouse events on the annotation (click and hover included) or how to disable this area? My code…

There is also another method where you can use the isDisabled method:

const { documentViewer, Annotations, annotationManager, Tools } = instance.Core
const linkAnnotations = annotationManager.getAnnotationsList().filter(annot => annot instanceof Annotations.Link)
linkAnnotations.forEach(link => link.isDisabled = true)
