How to hide annoation popup / "sticky note"- icon?

[stefaneidelloth]

I created an annoation with a hover text:

vertices = [(100, 400), (200, 400), (150, 500)]

# Create a polygon annotation on the page
annotation = page.add_polygon_annot(vertices)

# Set the annotation's properties (optional)
annotation.set_border(width=1.5)
annotation.set_opacity(0.5)

popup_rect = fitz.Rect(300, 400, 500, 500)  
annotation.set_popup(popup_rect)
annotation.set_info(None, 'content', 'title')

=> How can I hide the yellow annotation icon?

Disabling Edit => Preferences => Enable text indicators and tooltips in Acrobat Reader removed the sticky note icons for me. 

However, I would like to store this this info with the document. 

• If that is possible somehow, please let me know.

• If there is an alternative approach to show hover info, that is not based on comments, please let me know, too. Unfortunately, the annoations and shapes do not seem to support mouse hover action listeners to be able to attach some custom JavaScript (?)

Already implemented!

If an annotation has a popup, you can request setting it "open" or "closed" - see documentation here. Independent from that, use the annotation flags to set desired bits. in your case, you could use "hidden"
