Is there any API(PDFJS Express or PDFTron) to set date as `null` or `''` or remove it completely? Probably it is possible to create our own annotation box?  
**PDF.js Express Version**

7.1

**Expected behaviour**

Hey there!

You can hide certain elements by providing a [custom style sheet to Express](https://pdfjs.express/documentation/ui-customization/customizing-styles). You can then hide any element you like. You could try something like this to hide the date:

```css
div.date-and-time {
   display: none;
}

```

Thanks!
