Clear annotation from managed list of annotations.

[Sweta Sonegra]

Hi,

I am using PDFtron web viewer in my HTML 5 MVC website.

What I am doing is loading the viewer once. After that if the viewer is already loaded then just opening next book.

Facing Issue: The previous book annotation are seen in next book.

Want to fix: I want to clear the annotation that are already loaded.

I suspect the issue has to do with saving/loading annotations from the server.

When WebViewer sends requests to the server, it will append a document id in the query so the server can uniquely identity documents (and keep annotation xfdf files separate).

To workaround the problem, before loading a new document with loadDocument, set a new document ID.

For example:

 if(myWebViewer.selectedType === "html5"){
     myWebViewer.getInstance().doc_id = "new_document_id";
 }
 myWebViewer.loadDocument($('#documentURL').val());

It is then up to the server script to respect the document ID and return the correct XFDF annotation data to the client.
