Docs 8.2 PDF Edit Mode

Hi all,

First off, I want to say thanks for the 8.2 update. This contains many great new features including one I’ve been hoping will be implemented for quite some time (PDF editing / saving).

I’ve got this working out of the box with my existing set-up just fine, but I’m wondering if there’s any way to open the document so it’s in editing mode (vs commenting) by default.

Here’s my editorConfig if you there’s anything anyone can advise?

"editorConfig" => [
    "callbackUrl" => $urlStart . "/colabsave.php",
    "mode" => "edit",
    "plugins" => false,
    "coEditing" => [
        "mode" => "fast",
        "change" => false,
    ],
	"review" => [
		"hoverMode" => true,
		"showReviewChanges" => true,
		"trackChanges" => true,
	],
    "user" => [
        "id" => 6,
        "name" => "Some name",
    ],
],

Many thanks in advance!

Hello @paulf

As of now, permission.edit only allows user to switch to editing mode in the editor when PDF is opened. PDFs are opened in commenting mode by default and this mode can be changed via menu near avatar or via toolbar in editor interface only.

Thanks Constantine,

Can I request a small change for the next update, where developers can change the mode in which a PDF opens please (either commenting or editing)? I’m sure this would prove most useful for others too!

Thanks again!
