PDF Embed API: Annotations API, ANNOTATION_ADDED event not triggering for notes

[Facundo - Fabian MoonDesk]

Hello,

I am encountering an issue with the Annotations API. When adding a message to the document with the subtype "note," the ANNOTATION_ADDED event is not being triggered. It does work as expected for other subtypes such as "strikeout," "highlight," "underline," and "shape.". This was working fine a few days ago.

This issue can be tested with the Angular demo (/annotationAPIs/UIConfigurations). 

Here, you can observe two events (related to drawing and highlighting marks), but none for note-type marks:

Thanks!

Any solution !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Is there any solution to revert to the previous release ?

This is definitively a major bug of Adobe Embed API  3.10.0_3.2.1
Please advise.

@Raymond Camden please can you provide any input

Any update on this? Still not working

[Garrett28259082qfbf]

Still broken!!

@Raymond Camden we need an answer on this, how is one of the most important annotations of adobe pdf viewer still broken with no response?

It's both add comment via toolbar and "right click" > "add comment"

[Raymond Camden]

I am unable to reproduce this. To be clear, what do you mean by 'note'? Garret below mentioned right click/add comment, and when I do, I get an event fired.

I built this codepen.io which only logs the event.

When I right click add comment, I get an event fired.

Note that I've seen Embed take 1-2 seconds to 'register' the event so be sure to give it a sec.

Hey Raymond, can you try with comments panel collapsed? It's waiting for a body value, but it never gets one, thats the reason it works in the codepen

[Raymond Camden]

When I load the PDF initially, the comments panel is closed. I right click, add comment, it opens automatically and I type. Are you adding comments in a way that doesn't open the panel so you can type?

[Garrett28259082qfbf]

var annotationManagerConfig = {
showToolbar: false,
showCommentsPanel: false,
showToolsOnTextSelection: false,
downloadWithAnnotations: false,
};

Pass these settings into annotation manager config

[Garrett28259082qfbf]

If you have the comments panel collapsed, there is no way for the annotation to get its bodyValue, and it never fires the event

[Raymond Camden]

After updating the CodePen, I'm able to reproduce this. Will file the bug.

[Garrett28259082qfbf]

It's also an issue for the "Text Comment" in the toolbar, I just have disabled the toolbar.

Thanks very much for taking a look @Raymond Camden 

[Garrett28259082qfbf]

@Raymond Camden any update on when this bug will be prioritized and deployed to production?

[Raymond Camden]

Nope.

[Jere- Lucho MoonDesk]

@Raymond Camden Hi!, any update? 

[Raymond Camden]

Folks, nothing has changed in this regard. I wish I could say more, but no.

[Garrett28259082qfbf]

@Raymond Camden any good news in the new year regarding this incredibly vital bug?

Something as simple as "right click > add comment" not functioning at all, destroys the whole UX

[Raymond Camden]

I do not have an update. 

[Garrett28259082qfbf]

Is there any workaround where we can prevent right clicking inside of the iframe?
