Disable PDF editing and annotations

By setting the correct permissions, you can run Nutrient Web SDK in read-only mode, thereby preventing users from editing or annotating a PDF document. Get additional resources by visiting our guide about customizing annotation permissions.

import PSPDFKit from "@nutrient-sdk/viewer";


export function load(defaultConfiguration) {
  // Set the `readOnly` flag in the `initivalViewState` to true to disable
  // creating, editing or deleting annotations.
  // https://www.nutrient.io/api/web/PSPDFKit.ViewState.html#readOnly
  const initialViewState = new PSPDFKit.ViewState({
    readOnly: true,
  });


  return PSPDFKit.load({ ...defaultConfiguration, initialViewState }).then(
    (instance) => {
      return instance;
    }
  );
}
