Example

The following example hides the Save button and Hyperlink button for note annotations and just the Save button for freehand annotations:

<param name="annotationHideContextButtons1" value="save, hypertext" />
<param name="annotationHideContextButtonsIds1" value="note" />
<param name="annotationHideContextButtons2" value="save" />
<param name="annotationHideContextButtonsIds2" value="freehand" />
The following example also hides the Save button and Hyperlink button for note annotations and just the Save button for freehand annotations:

<param name="annotationHideContextButtons1" value="save" />
<param name="annotationHideContextButtonsIds1" value="note, freehand" />
<param name="annotationHideContextButtons2" value="hypertext" />
<param name="annotationHideContextButtonsIds2" value="note" />

You can hide buttons for all annotation types by not specifying a corresponding annotationHideContextButtonsIds<N>> value. However, this action works only for the last pair. Therefore, the following example does not hide the Hyperlink button for all annotation types:


<param name="annotationHideContextButtons1" value="hypertext" />
<param name="annotationHideContextButtons2" value="save" />
<param name="annotationHideContextButtonsIds2" value="note" />

The following example shows the correct way to hide the Hyperlink button for all annotation types:


<param name="annotationHideContextButtons1" value="save" />
<param name="annotationHideContextButtonsIds1" value="note" />
<param name="annotationHideContextButtons2" value="hypertext" />

Sample syntax

<PARAM NAME="annotationHideContextButtons1" value="fillcolor, hyperlink">

Default setting: none
