Hi there!

Before you export the annotations, you can loop over them and set them as readonly.

```javascript
const { annotManager } = instance;
const list = annotManager.getAnnotationsList();

list.forEach(item => {
  item.ReadOnly = true
});

const xfdf = await annotManager.exportAnnotations();
...

```

Keep in mind that a lot of PDF viewers do not honour the ReadOnly flag, so the document may still be editable in some viewers.

Thanks!  
Logan
