PDFKit / PDFView Disable Interaction with Form Annotation

Question

For a PDFDocument that contains annotations with a widgetFieldType of PDFAnnotationWidgetSubtype.text and PDFAnnotationWidgetSubtype.button is it possible to disable user interaction for those annotations (i.e. clicking on a checkbox does not cause it to toggle)?

You can try this (for first page):

        pdfView.document?.page(at: 0)?.annotations.filter {
            $0.widgetFieldType == PDFAnnotationWidgetSubtype.button
            }.forEach {
                $0.shouldDisplay = false
            }
        }

does that hide the widget or disable user user interaction? – Kevin Sylvestre Aug 09 '18 at 15:51
I tried it with a file with radio buttons and they were only disabled. Ymmv though depending on the file, that’s why I asked for a sample if you had one. – Aris Aug 09 '18 at 20:25
if annotation type is ".ink" then b setting "shouldDisplay = false" it hides it instead disabling user interaction. – Waseem Sarwar Aug 04 '19 at 09:50
