ngx-extended-pdf-viewer
When this project is finished (or what passes as "finished" in the IT world), it'll be an embeddable
PDF viewer component. It's different from other approaches like ng2-pdf-viewer in that it
provides the full suite of UI widgets. In other words, it looks exactly like the PDF viewer of the browser.
State of the art
Currently, this is only a preliminary version of the library. It works, but it requires some ugly
workarounds and it's not really embeddable: The CSS file used by the library affects the entire
application.
Please come back in a couple of days, when the problems are - hopefully - solved!
How to use the library
-
Install the library with npm i ngx-extended-pdf-viewer --save
-
Open the file "angular.json" (or ".angular-cli.json" if you're using an older version of Angular)
and add these two JavaScript files to the "scripts" section:
"scripts": [
"node_modules/ngx-extended-pdf-viewer/assets/pdf.js",
"node_modules/ngx-extended-pdf-viewer/assets/pdf.worker.js"
]
-
Add "NgxExtendedPdfViewerModule" to the module file.
-
Now you can display the PDF file using "".
