pdfobject-vue

A PDFObject component for Vue 3 projects

Creates a <PdfObject> Vue component, enabling easy PDF embedding in any Vue 3 project. Pass the URL of the PDF via the url parameter (String), and any desired options via the :options (Object). Note the binding via colon :options.

Important: While PDFObject has always been spelled with capitalized PDF (because it's an acronym), the Vue component uses camelCase PdfObject. This is to align with Vue's naming convention which stipulates component names should be comprised of two words.

It's safe to use either <PdfObject> or <pdf-object>.

A full list of PDFObject options (and examples) can be found at PDFObject.com.

Assumes the PDFObject JS utility has also been installed via NPM. npm install pdfobject

<PdfObject url="/pdf/sample.pdf" :options="{ height: '500px', pdfOpenParams: { view: 'FitV' }}" />

import { createApp } from 'vue';
import App from './App.vue';
import PDFObjectPlugin from 'pdfobject-vue';
