How do I Customize the Options in the Annotation Inspector?
Q: How do I Customize the Options in the Annotation Inspector?
A: To customize the options in the annotation inspector you’ll have to change the propertiesForAnnotations of PDFConfigurationBuilder with a dictionary containing a Annotation.Tool specifying the annotation type as a key and the value for it should be an array of strings of the allowed properties.
Eample 1
The example below shows how to customize the Annotation Inspector options ink annotations:
Copy
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 | let configuration = PDFConfiguration { // Do not show color presets. var typesShowingColorPresets = $0.typesShowingColorPresets typesShowingColorPresets.remove(.ink) $0.typesShowingColorPresets = typesShowingColorPresets // Configure the properties for ink annotations to only show the color and blend mode setting in the annotation inspector. var properties = $0.propertiesForAnnotations properties[.ink] = [[AnnotationStyle.Key.color, AnnotationStyle.Key.blendMode]] $0.propertiesForAnnotations = properties } |
Copy
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 | PSPDFConfiguration *configuration = [PSPDFConfiguration configurationWithBuilder:^(PSPDFConfigurationBuilder *builder) { // Do not show color presets. PSPDFAnnotationType typesShowingColorPresetes = builder.typesShowingColorPresets; typesShowingColorPresetes = typesShowingColorPresetes &~ PSPDFAnnotationTypeInk; builder.typesShowingColorPresets = typesShowingColorPresetes; // Configure the properties for ink annotations to only show the color and blend mode setting in the annotation inspector. NSMutableDictionary<PSPDFAnnotationString, id> *propertiesForAnnotations = [builder.propertiesForAnnotations mutableCopy]; propertiesForAnnotations[PSPDFAnnotationStringInk] = @[@[PSPDFAnnotationStyleKeyColor, PSPDFAnnotationStyleKeyBlendMode]]; builder.propertiesForAnnotations = propertiesForAnnotations; }]; |
Eample 2
This example illustrates how to remove the font name and size options from the Annotation Inspector for free text annotations:
Copy
1 2 3 4 5 6 | let configuration = PDFConfiguration { // Configure the properties for free text annotations to hid the font name and size settings in the annotation inspector. var properties = $0.propertiesForAnnotations properties[.freeText] = [[AnnotationStyle.Key.textAlignment, AnnotationStyle.Key.color, AnnotationStyle.Key.fillColor, AnnotationStyle.Key.alpha]] $0.propertiesForAnnotations = properties } |
Copy
1 2 3 4 5 6 | PSPDFConfiguration *configuration = [PSPDFConfiguration configurationWithBuilder:^(PSPDFConfigurationBuilder *builder) { // Configure the properties for free text annotations to hid the font name and size settings in the annotation inspector. NSMutableDictionary<PSPDFAnnotationString, id> *propertiesForAnnotations = [builder.propertiesForAnnotations mutableCopy]; propertiesForAnnotations[PSPDFAnnotationStringFreeText] = @[@[PSPDFAnnotationStyleKeyTextAlignment, PSPDFAnnotationStyleKeyColor, PSPDFAnnotationStyleKeyFillColor, PSPDFAnnotationStyleKeyAlpha]]; builder.propertiesForAnnotations = propertiesForAnnotations; }]; |
