README

React PDF Reader

The purpose of this library is to provide a React component that works as a PDF Reader. It's basically a React wrapper from the pdf.js library from Mozilla.

Using the Library

The library can be installed via the following commands:

npm i --save-dev react-view-pdf

Because this library uses components from precise-ui, it is necessary to add it as a dependency to your project:

npm i precise-ui

Then, simply import the component like below:

import { PDFViewer } from 'react-view-pdf';

<PDFViewer url="http://www.africau.edu/images/default/sample.pdf" />

Contributing

Feel free to contribute to it or open issues in case of bugs.

Roadmap

  1. Remove dependency on precise-ui.
  2. Allow selection of texts.
  3. Add built-in download button.
