        Yes, this needs to be looked at as a priority, it effectively means that the AnnotationAPI cannot be enabled at all at the moment.

        Can anyone from Adobe assist with this?

        You can actually enable the annotation apis you just have to modify your
        event handler to throw a window alert every time the user presses the text
        comment, and then call the annotation manager method that ends annotation
        mode.

        I have added something saying “this annotation type is currently not
        supported”

        It just stinks because people want to use it

        Same problem here.  I move the added text box and it along with other annotations I've made disappear.  This is becoming a major problem for my client.  Please fix ASAP.

        I have the same problem.

         

        1. enableAnnotationAPIs.
        2. add new FreeText(comment box).
        3. move(or change color) that FreeText.
        4. it will be disappear and got an error in console "Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'color')"

         

        I found the same thing in adobe/pdf-embed-api-samples too.

         

        1. download source code

          1-1. git clone https://github.com/adobe/pdf-embed-api-samples.git

        2. open index.html 

          2-1. pdf-embed-api-samples/More Samples/PDF Annotations APIs/CRUD APIs/index.html

        3. Drag and Drop the "I added a text annotation!" comment or change the other color

        4. Disappear FreeText and got an error in console "Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'color')"

         

        screenshot - 1: open index.html file

         

        screenshot - 2: when Drag and Drop comment box or change the other color

          Unfortunately the best I can offer is updating the forums when we release an update.


          So, it seems like this bug wasn't fixed with the last update?
