Advanced tools
A full-featured JavaScript PDF viewer and editor that comes with Document Solutions for PDF.
Document Solutions PDF Viewer (DsPdfViewer) is a fast, modern JavaScript based PDF viewer and editor that runs in all major browsers. The viewer can be used as a cross platform solution to view (or modify - see Support API below) PDF documents on Windows, MAC, Linux, iOS and Android devices. DsPdfViewer is included in Document Solutions for PDF (DsPdf) - a feature-rich cross-platform PDF API library for .NET Core.
Support API is a server-side NuGet package DS.Documents.Pdf.ViewerSupportApi that allows you to easily set up an ASP.NET Core or a Web Forms server that employs DsPdf to add PDF editing abilities to DsPdfViewer. When connected to a Support API server, DsPdfViewer becomes a powerful PDF editor that can be used to edit existing or create new PDF documents, fill and save PDF forms, remove (redact) sensitive content, add or edit annotations and AcroForm fields, and more.
DsPdfViewer provides a rich client side JavaScript object model, see docs/index.html for the client API documentation.
Product highlights:
The @mescius/dspdfviewer package replaces @grapecity/gcpdfviewer, and provides the same functionality, ensures future enhancements, and is backwards compatible with @grapecity/gcpdfviewer. Existing licenses will continue to work with DsPdfViewer.

Set the DsPdfViewer Deployment key to the DsPdfViewer.License property before you create and initialize DsPdfViewer. This must precede the code that references the js files.

DsPdfViewer.LicenseKey = 'xxx';
// Add your code
const viewer = new DsPdfViewer("#viewer1", { file: 'helloworld.pdf' });

Support API is a server-side library available as NuGet package DS.Documents.Pdf.ViewerSupportApi. The full source code of this library together with C# demo projects for ASP.NET Core and Web Forms is included in the src/ folder inside the package (the WEB_FORMS constant is defined for the Web Forms target). In your server solution you can either reference the package, or include the source project and reference it instead.
When DsPdfViewer is connected to a Support API server, its editing features are enabled. The edits done on the client are accumulated, and when the user clicks 'save', the original PDF and the edits are sent to the server, the edits are applied (using DsPdf), and the modified PDF is sent back to the client.
To set up a Support API server on your own system and see it in action, download any of the samples from the DsPdfViewer demo site (e.g. Edit PDF), and follow the instructions in the readme.md included in the downloaded zip.
NOTE that you will need a Document Solutions for PDF Professional license to use Support API in your apps.

['open', '$navigation', '$split', 'text-selection', 'pan', '$zoom', '$fullscreen', 'rotate', 'view-mode', 'theme-change', 'download', 'print', 'save', 'hide-annotations', 'doc-title', 'doc-properties', 'about']
The full list of the PDF-viewer specific toolbar items:
'text-selection', 'pan', 'open', 'save', 'download', 'print', 'rotate', 'theme-change', 'doc-title', 'view-mode', 'single-page', 'continuous-view'
The full list of base viewer toolbar items:
'$navigation' '$refresh', '$history', '$mousemode', '$zoom', '$fullscreen', '$split'
You can get default base viewer items by using the getDefaultToolbarItems() method, e.g.:
const toolbar: Toolbar = viewer.toolbar;
let buttons = toolbar.getDefaultToolbarItems();
buttons = buttons.filter(b => b !== '$refresh');
To specify a custom set of toolbar items, use the toolbarLayout property and applyToolbarLayout() method, e.g.:
viewer.toolbarLayout.viewer = {
default: ["$navigation", 'open', '$split', 'doc-title'],
fullscreen: ['$fullscreen', '$navigation'],
mobile: ["$navigation", 'doc-title']
};
viewer.toolbarLayout.annotationEditor = {
default: ['edit-select', 'save', '$split', 'edit-text'],
fullscreen: ['$fullscreen', 'edit-select', 'save', '$split', 'edit-text'],
mobile: ['$navigation']
};
viewer.toolbarLayout.formEditor = {
default: ['edit-select-field', 'save', '$split', 'edit-widget-tx-field', 'edit-widget-tx-password'],
fullscreen: ['$fullscreen', 'edit-select-field', 'save', '$split', 'edit-widget-tx-field', 'edit-widget-tx-password'],
mobile: ['$navigation']
};
viewer.applyToolbarLayout();
Here is an example of how to create your own custom toolbar button:
const toolbar: Toolbar = viewer.toolbar;
toolbar.addItem({
key: 'my-custom-button',
iconCssClass: 'mdi mdi-bike',
title: 'Custom button',
enabled: false,
action: () => {
alert("Custom toolbar button clicked");
},
onUpdate: (args) => ({ enabled: viewer.hasDocument }),
});
viewer.toolbarLayout.viewer.default = ['$navigation', 'my-custom-button'];
viewer.applyToolbarLayout();
Add a reference to the viewer script:
<body>
<script type="text/javascript" src="/lib/dspdfviewer/dspdfviewer.js"></script>
...
Add the placeholder to your App template, e.g.:
<section id="pdf"></section>
Render the viewer:
let viewer = new DsPdfViewer('section#pdf');
viewer.addDefaultPanels();
