Hide Annotations on PDF?

Hi there, 

I have been trying to hide annotations on a PDF. After reading the documentation and reviewing the community forums, I was able to disable the annotation tools, downloading and printing. However, I thought that includePDFAnnotations: false would hide the annotations that are on the document. They however are still rendering on the document. Below is the code that I am using.

 

My goal is to create a toggle that would allow someone to view the PDF with annotations and without. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

 

console.log("script running")
console.log("updated 02/01/2022")


document.addEventListener("adobe_dc_view_sdk.ready", function(){

var adobeDCViewer = new AdobeDC.View({clientId: "<my Key>", divId: "adobe-dc-view"});

var previewFilePromise = adobeDCViewer.previewFile({
content: {location: {url: "lakers.pdf"}},
metaData: {fileName: "lakers.pdf"}
},
{
  enableAnnotationAPIs: false,
  includePDFAnnotations: false,
  showAnnotationTools:false,
  enableFormFilling:false,
  showDownloadPDF:false,
  showPrintPDF:false
})
});

Do you need to hide/show annotations that were created by another PDF tool or only ones created using Embed API?
