<ejs-pdfviewer #pdfviewer id='pdfViewer'
    [documentPath]='document'
    [enableToolbar]=false
    [enableNavigationToolbar]=false
    (annotationSelect)="annotationSelect($event)"
    (annotationUnSelect)="annotationUnSelect($event)"
    style="height:640px; display: block">
</ejs-pdfviewer>
<ejs-pdfviewer #pdfviewer id='pdfViewer'
    [serviceUrl]='service'
    [documentPath]='document'
    [enableToolbar]=false
    [enableNavigationToolbar]=false
    (annotationSelect)="annotationSelect($event)"
    (annotationUnSelect)="annotationUnSelect($event)"
    style="height:640px; display: block">
</ejs-pdfviewer>
<ejs-toolbar id='topToolbar' #customToolbar>
    <e-item
        prefixIcon="e-delete-1"
        tooltipText="Delete annotation"
        id ="DeleteButton"
        disabled="true"
        (click)="deleteSelectedAnnotation()">
    </e-items>
</ejs-toolbar>
public annotationSelect(e: any): void {
    this.customToolbar.items[1].disabled = false;
}

public annotationUnSelect(e: any): void {
    this.customToolbar.items[1].disabled = true;
