# Angular PDFJS viewer with Mozilla's ViewerJS.
**_🎉 Thanks a ton to the community - We are talking Downloads in millions now!!!_**
**_This project is currently maintained by a single developer on his spare time. Inviting contributors and pull requests to pick-up momentum, and handle the expansive userbase and feature requests._**
This is a super simple angular component for displaying pdfs inline(embedded) OR in a new tab along with a feature rich viewer. It uses mozilla's pdfjs viewer(v2.2.171) behind the scenes and supports angular version from 2.0. Extremely lightweight, easiest to integrate and use, most reliable, this library has only one dependancy (@angular/core).
## What is new?
1. **Direct access to underlying viewer** - Exposed PDFViewerApplication and PDFViewerApplicationOptions objects opens a whole world of customizable PDFJS and ViewerJS properties and methods, allowing to change them programmatically; thus producing a unique viewer experience.
2. **Dynamic page number** - Getter/Setter added for page number. Change page number after document loaded, or access current page in parent component.
3. **Support for events** - You may now register several events such as document load, page change, before print, after print etc. Please make sure to provide `viewerId` for events to work properly.
## Tutorials, Demos & Examples
**Hosted Demo app showing unique use cases**: https://ng2-pdfjs-viewer.azurewebsites.net

### Open in a new tab/ external window
### Embed pdf into any angular component/page
## Installation
## Step 1: Install `ng2-pdfjs-viewer`
```bash
$ npm install ng2-pdfjs-viewer --save
```
And then configure it in your Angular `AppModule`:
```typescript
import { BrowserModule } from "@angular/platform-browser";
import { NgModule } from "@angular/core";
import { AppComponent } from "./app.component";
import { PdfJsViewerModule } from "ng2-pdfjs-viewer"; // <-- Import PdfJsViewerModule module
@NgModule({
declarations: [AppComponent],
imports: [
BrowserModule,
PdfJsViewerModule, // <-- Add to declarations
],
providers: [],
bootstrap: [AppComponent],
})
export class AppModule {}
```
## Step 2: Copy task for pdfjs
For several advanced options to work, you need a copy of pdfjs from this npm package.
Edit your project's `angular.json` file and use `ng build` as described here https://angular.io/guide/workspace-config#assets-configuration
```json
"assets": [
{ "glob": "**/*", "input": "node_modules/ng2-pdfjs-viewer/pdfjs", "output": "/assets/pdfjs" },
]
```
_Please note, you must manually Copy `node_modules\ng2-pdfjs-viewer\pdfjs` to your `public` or `asset` folder or use any copy script as part of your build process. Another method could be to use `TransferWebpackPlugin` if you are using webpack(https://github.com/dkokorev90/transfer-webpack-plugin)._
`TransferWebpackPlugin` Sample code
```typescript
var TransferWebpackPlugin = require('transfer-webpack-plugin');
...
plugins: [
new TransferWebpackPlugin([
{ from: 'node_modules\ng2-pdfjs-viewer\pdfjs', to: path.join(__dirname, 'assets') }
])
]
```
_Please note if you decide to put `pdfjs` folder anywhere else other than the `assets` folder, make sure you also set `[viewerFolder]` property to help locate the folder._

## Usage
_For your convenience a sample app using angular is available under this repository, if you would like to see it in action (Folder SampleApp). It shows many ways to configure this component for different needs._
Once your PdfJsViewerComponent is imported you can use it in your Angular application like this:
```xml
{{title}}
```
Here is a use case to download and open the pdf as byte array and open in new tab/window:
Please note, pdfSrc can be a Blob or Uint8Array as well
For [externalWindow]="true" to work, pop-ups needs to be enabled at browser level
```xml
Open Pdf
```
```typescript
import { Component, ViewChild } from '@angular/core';
import { HttpClient } from '@angular/common/http';
import { Observable } from 'rxjs';
import { map } from 'rxjs/operators';
...
export class MyComponent implements OnInit {
@ViewChild('pdfViewerOnDemand') pdfViewerOnDemand;
@ViewChild('pdfViewerAutoLoad') pdfViewerAutoLoad;
...
constructor(private http: HttpClient) {
let url = "api/document/getmypdf"; // Or your url
this.downloadFile(url).subscribe(
(res) => {
this.pdfViewerAutoLoad.pdfSrc = res; // pdfSrc can be Blob or Uint8Array
this.pdfViewerAutoLoad.refresh(); // Ask pdf viewer to load/refresh pdf
}
);
}
private downloadFile(url: string): any {
return this.http.get(url, { responseType: 'blob' })
.pipe(
map((result: any) => {
return result;
})
);
}
public openPdf() {
let url = "url to fetch pdf as byte array"; // E.g. http://localhost:3000/api/GetMyPdf
// url can be local url or remote http request to an api/pdf file.
// E.g: let url = "assets/pdf-sample.pdf";
// E.g: https://github.com/intbot/ng2-pdfjs-viewer/tree/master/sampledoc/pdf-sample.pdf
// E.g: http://localhost:3000/api/GetMyPdf
// Please note, for remote urls to work, CORS should be enabled at the server. Read: https://enable-cors.org/server.html
this.downloadFile(url).subscribe(
(res) => {
this.pdfViewerOnDemand.pdfSrc = res; // pdfSrc can be Blob or Uint8Array
this.pdfViewerOnDemand.refresh(); // Ask pdf viewer to load/reresh pdf
}
);
}
```
# Additional Information
Given below are examples of writing server apis(In aspnetcore c#) which returns pdfs as byte array. You can choose any server side technology as long as pdf is returned as byte array
Use case 1. As a RDLC local report viewer
```c#
[HttpGet]
[Route("MyReport")]
public IActionResult GetReport()
{
// var reportObjectList1
// var reportObjectList2
var reportViewer = new ReportViewer {ProcessingMode = ProcessingMode.Local};
reportViewer.LocalReport.ReportPath = "Reports/MyReport.rdlc";
reportViewer.LocalReport.DataSources.Add(new ReportDataSource("NameOfDataSource1", reportObjectList1));
reportViewer.LocalReport.DataSources.Add(new ReportDataSource("NameOfDataSource2", reportObjectList1));
Warning[] warnings;
string[] streamids;
string mimeType;
string encoding;
string extension;
var bytes = reportViewer.LocalReport.Render("application/pdf", null, out mimeType, out encoding, out extension, out streamids, out warnings);
return File(bytes, "application/pdf")
}
```
Use case 2. Return a physical pdf from server
```c#
[HttpGet]
[Route("GetMyPdf")]
public IActionResult GetMyPdf()
{
var stream = await {{__get_stream_here__}}
return File(stream, "application/pdf")); // FileStreamResult
// OR
// var bytes = await {{__get_bytes_here__}}
// return File(bytes, "application/pdf")
}
OR
[HttpGet]
[Route("GetMyPdf")]
public IActionResult GetMyPdf()
{
var pdfPath = Path.Combine(Directory.GetCurrentDirectory(), "wwwroot/assets/pdfjs/web/gre_research_validity_data.pdf");
byte[] bytes = System.IO.File.ReadAllBytes(pdfPath);
return File(bytes, "application/pdf");
}
```
## E-Signature Support
Original issue -> PDF.JS is not able to load the signature in the pdf if that is done via the any **E-Signature** tool.
Resolution of the issue -> To support this feature need to comment/remove the below code from pdf.worker.js file and file path i.e. lib\pdfjs\build\pdf.worker.js
**Original issue code**
```javascript
if (data.fieldType === "Sig") {
data.fieldValue = null;
_this3.setFlags(_util.AnnotationFlag.HIDDEN);
}
```
**Resoultion code**
```javascript
if (data.fieldType === "Sig") {
data.fieldValue = null;
_this3.setFlags(_util.AnnotationFlag.HIDDEN); //remove or comment this line
}
```
