Hi Benjamin,
You can disable elements with the disableElements
API
For what you want to do that would look something like this:
instance.UI.disableElements([ 'standardStampPanelButton', 'customStampPanel' ]);
Howerver there is no dataElement on the delete stamp button so you may want to add a custom css file and set the icon to display: none
PDF.js Express Viewer Style Customization (Color & CSS) | Documentation
so in your css file you would have something like:
.stamp-row .icon{
display: none
}
and for setting the default tab you can use the setSelectedTab API like so:
instance.UI.setSelectedTab('rubberStampTab', 'customStampPanelButton');
Cheers,
Dustin
