#### (after-load-complete)



| Property | Type | Required |

| --- | ---- | --- |

| (after-load-complete) | *callback* | *Optional* |



Get PDF information with callback



First define callback function "callBackFn" in your controller,

```typescript

callBackFn(pdf: PDFDocumentProxy) {

   // do anything with "pdf"

}

```



And then use it in your template:

```

(after-load-complete)="callBackFn($event)"

```



#### (page-rendered)



| Property | Type | Required |

| --- | ---- | --- |

| (page-rendered) | *callback* | *Optional* |



Get event when a page is rendered. Called for every page rendered.



Define callback in your component:



```typescript

pageRendered(e: CustomEvent) {

  console.log('(page-rendered)', e);

}

```



And then bind it to ``:



```angular2html

(page-rendered)="pageRendered($event)"

```



#### (pages-initialized)



| Property | Type | Required |

| --- | ---- | --- |

| (pages-initialized) | *callback* | *Optional* |



Get event when the pages are initialized.



Define callback in your component:



```typescript

pageInitialized(e: CustomEvent) {

  console.log('(pages-initialized)', e);

}

```



And then bind it to ``:



```angular2html

(pages-initialized)="pageInitialized($event)"

```



#### (text-layer-rendered)



| Property | Type | Required |

| --- | ---- | --- |

| (text-layer-rendered) | *callback* | *Optional* |



Get event when a text layer is rendered.



Define callback in your component:



```typescript

textLayerRendered(e: CustomEvent) {

  console.log('(text-layer-rendered)', e);

}

```



And then bind it to ``:



```angular2html

(text-layer-rendered)="textLayerRendered($event)"

```



#### (error)



| Property | Type | Required |

| --- | ---- | --- |

| (error) | *callback* | *Optional* |



Error handling callback



Define callback in your component's class



```typescript

onError(error: any) {

  // do anything

}

```



Then add it to `pdf-component` in component's template



```html

(error)="onError($event)"

```



#### (on-progress)



| Property | Type | Required |

| --- | ---- | --- |

| (on-progress) | *callback* | *Optional* |



Loading progress callback - provides progress information `total` and `loaded` bytes. Is called several times during pdf loading phase.



Define callback in your component's class



```typescript

onProgress(progressData: PDFProgressData) {

  // do anything with progress data. For example progress indicator

}

```



Then add it to `pdf-component` in component's template



```html

(on-progress)="onProgress($event)"

```



## Render local PDF file



In your `html` template add `input`:



```html



```



and then add `onFileSelected` method to your component:



```typescript

onFileSelected() {

  let $img: any = document.querySelector('#file');



  if (typeof (FileReader) !== 'undefined') {

    let reader = new FileReader();



    reader.onload = (e: any) => {

      this.pdfSrc = e.target.result;

    };



    reader.readAsArrayBuffer($img.files[0]);

  }

}

```



## Set custom path to the worker



By default the `worker` is loaded from `cdn.jsdelivr.net`.



In your code update `path` to the worker to be for example `/pdf.worker.js`

```typescript

(window as any).pdfWorkerSrc = '/pdf.worker.js';

```



*This should be set before `pdf-viewer` component is rendered.*



If you ever have a (super rare) edge case where you run in an environment that multiple

components are somehow loaded within the same web page, sharing the same window,

but using different versions of pdf.worker, support has been added.  You can do the

above, except that you can append the specific version of pdfjs required and override the

custom path *just for that version*.  This way setting the global window var won't conflict.

```typescript

(window as any)["pdfWorkerSrc2.14.305"] = '/pdf.worker.js';

```



## Search in the PDF



Use `eventBus` for the search functionality.



In your component's ts file:



* Add reference to `pdf-viewer` component,

* then when needed execute `search()` linke this:



```typescript

@ViewChild(PdfViewerComponent) private pdfComponent: PdfViewerComponent;



search(stringToSearch: string) {

  this.pdfComponent.eventBus.dispatch('find', {

    query: stringToSearch, type: 'again', caseSensitive: false, findPrevious: undefined, highlightAll: true, phraseSearch: true

  });

}

```
