PDFJS is a huge package (see the library size table above). So use lazy loading to split your bundle into small pieces.
<template>
<div id="app">
<pdf-viewer></pdf-viewer>
</div>
</template>
<script>
import Loader from "./components/Loader.vue";
export default {
name: "App",
components: {
"pdf-viewer": () => ({
component: new Promise((res) => {
return setTimeout(
() => res(import(/* webpackChunkName: "pdf-viewer" */ "vue-pdf-app")),
4000
);
}),
loading: Loader,
}),
},
};
</script>
You can interact with pdfjs library when pdf is opened via open event.
<template>
<div id="app">
<div id="pdf-wrapper">
<pdf-app pdf="/sample.pdf" @open="openHandler"></pdf-app>
</div>
<div id="info">
<h1>PDF info:</h1>
<div v-for="item in info" :key="item.name">
<span>{{ item.name }}: {{ item.value }}</span>
<br />
</div>
</div>
</div>
</template>
<script>
import PdfApp from "vue-pdf-app";
export default {
name: "App",
components: {
PdfApp,
},
data() {
return {
info: [],
};
},
methods: {
async openHandler(PDFViewerApplication) {
this.info = [];
const info = await PDFViewerApplication.pdfDocument
.getMetadata()
.catch(console.error.bind(console));
if (!info) return;
const props = Object.keys(info.info);
props.forEach((prop) => {
const obj = {
name: prop,
value: info.info[prop],
};
this.info.push(obj);
});
},
},
};
</script>
