PDFTron React Native supports TypeScript. Since not all customers use the language, the typings used in this document will be described using normal JavaScript types. For TypeScript users, type information is automatically provided while coding, and exact type aliases and constants used in our custom typings can be found in AnnotOptions and Config source folders.
