react-pdf-annotator
react-pdf-annotator
provides annotation experience for PDF documents on web
built on top of PDF.js. Text and rectangular highlights are supported. Highlight
data format is independent of the viewport, making it suitable for saving on the
server.
Demo

Installation
npm install react-pdf-annotator
Example
See
demo/src/App.js
for React component API example.
While docs are in progress, feel free to check the source annotated with Flow
type signatures.
Prior art
react-pdf
and
react-pdfjs
only provide React
wrappers for PDF.js and do not have built-in annotation functionality.
pdfjs-annotate
does not
provide text highlights out of the box.
PDF.js provides only viewer:
PDF.js is mainly written for reading PDF files, not editing them. Because of that we don't yet support adding any kind of annotations. We do however support rendering a number of annotation types for viewing.
