WebViewer Version: 11.8.0
How can i enable the add and edit button in webviewer UI in the outlines panel?
This was enabled in version 11.3.0 but after upgrading to 11.8.0, i noticed that these options were disabled.

While you wait for one of our customer support representatives, I can help you with your question.
It seems like you’re facing an issue with enabling the add and edit options for outlines in WebViewer version 11.8.0. This functionality might have been affected by changes in the API or default settings in the newer version.
Some things you can try:
- Ensure that the Full API is enabled in your WebViewer configuration, as this is necessary for outline editing capabilities.
- Verify your WebViewer configuration settings and ensure that outline editing is not restricted by any custom configuration or permissions.
- Check if there are any JavaScript errors in the console that might indicate why the options are disabled.
- Consider updating your code to explicitly enable these features using the available API methods for outline manipulation.
Here are some resources that might help you:
- Edit PDF outlines: text, color, action using JavaScript: This guide provides details on how to enable and use outline editing features in WebViewer.
- Code samples to edit PDF bookmarks using JavaScript: Offers practical examples of editing bookmarks and outlines with the API.
- Removing outlines from PDFs using JavaScript: Learn how to handle outline removal, which might help in understanding the enabling/disabling mechanisms.
- Accessibility Incompatible actions, modes, and features: Ensure that accessibility settings are not affecting the outline options.
Hopefully, this helps you solve your problem while you wait for a human to get back to you.
Hello Zaid,
Thank you contacting Apryse Forums.
You need to have fullAPI enabled to add and edit outlines. Add this to your WebViewer constructor.
fullAPI: true,

I do have fullApi set to True, there are no changes from 11.3.0 to 11.8.0 in the constructor. Only the add and edit outlines button is missing from the outlines panel. Were there any changes made to enable/disable these ui elements? And how do i enable them now?

Hello zaid.jeelani,
Adding the fullAPI: true should be the only step necessary. Can you provide a screenshot and code snippet of what you have so far?
Best regards,
Tyler
