Hi there,

Thank you for calling pdf.js express forums,

I was unable to reproduce this issue on the demo: PDF.js Viewer Demo | PDF.js Express

You could potentially try re-rendering the page to get the annotation to fully delete:

How can I use refreshAll() and refreshPage(pageNumber) in react? Can you share one example code for the same?

Hi there,

Please see our react sample project for reference:

The API should work after creating the WebViewer instance. If you are still experiencing issues, could you share a minimal reproducible sample project?
