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 PSPDFConfigurationBuilder with a dictionary containing a PSPDFAnnotationString specifying the annotation type as a key and the value for it should be an array of strings of the allowed properties. The below example shows how to do this specifically for an ink annotation.

let configuration = PSPDFConfiguration { builder in
    // Do not show color presets.
    var typesShowingColorPresets = builder.typesShowingColorPresets
    typesShowingColorPresets.remove(.ink)
    builder.typesShowingColorPresets = typesShowingColorPresets

    // Configure the properties for ink annotations to only show the color and blend mode setting in the annotation inspector.
    var properties = builder.propertiesForAnnotations
    properties[AnnotationString.ink] = [[AnnotationStyleKey.color, AnnotationStyleKey.blendMode]]
    builder.propertiesForAnnotations = properties
}
