Hi Logan,

Just to clarify, when I setCustomData I will see the number inside a circle at the bottom right hand corner of the sticky annotation? See below screenshot.

If this is the case, do you see a way to include these numbered annotations only when exporting the pdf and not when the user is viewing the document through the viewer?
