ANNOTATION_ADDED event triggering on load

ANNOTATION_ADDED event triggering on load when loading the pdf viewer in my application.

I have a unique constraint on my database, and every time the PDF loads, my annotations trigger an ANNOTATION_ADDED notification which tries to insert the record.

Annotation Added should not trigger when annotations are loaded into the PDF but rather when an annotation is added into the PDF after it's loaded existing annotations.

Please advise, thanks.

Can you provide more information? Are you loading into Embed a PDF with existing annotations? Are you dymanically adding new ones?

The annotations are in database, here is the code when the user loads a pdf..

adobeDCView.previewFile({
		content: { location: { url: url } },
		metaData: { fileName: fileName, id: id, hasReadOnlyAccess: readOnly }
	}, options)
		.then((view) => {
			view.getAnnotationManager().then((annotationManager) => {
				if (!readOnly) {
					annotationManager.setConfig(annotationManagerConfig);

					annotationManager.addAnnotationsInPDF(list_of_annotations)
						.then(result => console.log(result))
						.catch(error => console.log(error));

					annotationManager.registerEventListener(async function (event) {
						if (event.type == "ANNOTATION_MODE_STARTED" || event.type == "ANNOTATION_CLICKED") {
							if (event.data == "freetext") {
								annotationManager.endAnnotationMode();
								window.alert("Annotation Type is not currently supported.");
								return;
							}
						}
						else {
							if (event.data.creator.id != email) {
								annotationManager.unselectAnnotation();
							}
							else {
								if (event.data?.target?.selector?.subtype == "freetext") {
									annotationManager.endAnnotationMode();
								}
								else {
									await GLOBAL.DotNetReference.invokeMethodAsync('ReceiveAnnotationEvent', event);
								}
							}
						}
					}, eventOptions);
				}
		});
