Hi,

you can delete an annotation from another view with notification following these steps:
- Create a method that delete an annotation:

- (void)deleteAnnot:(NSNotification *)notification
{
    PDFAnnot *annot = (PDFAnnot *)notification.object;
    [annot removeFromPage];
    [m_view vRenderSync:m_annot_pos.pageno]; //or the specific page
    [self refresh];
}

- Create an observer for example in PDFView class that calls deleteAnnot method:

[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserver:self selector:@selector(deleteAnnot:) name:@"delete-annot" object:nil];

- Post the notification from a different view (for example you can call pushViewController to show the view):

[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] postNotificationName:@"delete-annot" object:_annot];

Pay attention to keep the annotation instance (annot) also in the second view and send it as notification param.
In this case is assumed that the pdf is opened.
