WebViewer is a powerful JavaScript-based PDF Library that's part of the PDFTron PDF SDK. It provides a slick out-of-the-box responsive UI that interacts with the core library to view, annotate and manipulate PDFs that can be embedded into any web project.
This repo is specifically designed for any users interested in integrating WebViewer into React project. You can watch a video here to help you get started.
You can explore all of the functionality in our showcase.
Before you begin, make sure your development environment includes Node.js.
git clone https://github.com/PDFTron/webviewer-react-sample.git
cd webviewer-react-sample
npm install
npm start
After the app starts, you will be able to see WebViewer running on localhost:3000
.
Run npm run build
to build the project. The build artifacts will be stored in the build/
directory. See the section about deployment for more information.
To test the build directory locally you can use serve or http-server. In case of serve, by default it strips the .html extension stripped from paths. We added serve.json configuration to disable cleanUrls option.
You can deploy your app to GitHub Pages. To do so, make sure to update paths accordingly, for example, to deploy on pdftron.github.io/webviewer-react-sample
, modify the path
:
WebViewer(
{
path: '/webviewer-react-sample/webviewer/lib',
initialDoc: '/webviewer-react-sample/files/PDFTRON_about.pdf',
},
viewer.current,
).then((instance) => {
