ViewMode ​

When you open a document using ComPDFKit.openDocument(), you can set the default display mode according to your product's needs. For example, the default Viewer Mode allows viewing PDF documents and filling out forms but does not allow editing annotations, text, etc.

Setting the Default Mode ​

The following example demonstrates how to set Annotation Mode as the default display mode. In Annotation Mode, users can add, delete, and modify annotations.

// ComPDFKit.openDocument Sample
var config = ComPDFKit.getDefaultConfig({
  modeConfig : {
    initialViewMode: CPDFViewMode.ANNOTATIONS
  }
})
ComPDFKit.openDocument(samplePDF, '', config)

// CPDFReaderView Sample
<CPDFReaderView
    ref={pdfReaderRef}
    document={samplePDF}
    saveDocument={saveDocument}
    configuration={config}/>

The results are as follows:

// ComPDFKit.openDocument Sample
var config = ComPDFKit.getDefaultConfig({
  modeConfig : {
    availableViewModes: [
      CPDFViewMode.VIEWER,
      CPDFViewMode.ANNOTATIONS
    ]
  }
})
ComPDFKit.openDocument(samplePDF, '', config)

// CPDFReaderView Sample
<CPDFReaderView
    ref={pdfReaderRef}
    document={samplePDF}
    saveDocument={saveDocument}
    configuration={config}/>
