Auto save annotations in React Native

Markdown version of this page, suitable for AI agents and automation

PSPDFKit will automatically save changed, created, or deleted annotations to a document on several occasions. In practice, this means that automatic saving will be performed when:

  • The application goes into the background
  • A configuration change occurs (for example, change of device orientation, change of locale, added keyboard)
  • The NutrientView is fully covered by another View
  • The document on the NutrientView is changed
  • A document will be digitally signed

Each time the document is saved, the onDocumentSaved() event is called:

onDocumentSaved={(event) => {
  alert("Document was saved!");
}}

If there were no new changes to save, the event won’t be called.

Disable automatic saving

To disable automatic saving, set the disableAutomaticSaving property to true in the configuration object, like so:

<NutrientView
  document={DOCUMENT}
  configuration={{
    disableAutomaticSaving: true,
  }}
  ref={this.pdfRef}
  fragmentTag="PDF1"
/>
