I recently needed to show a pdf file inside a div in my app. All i wanted was to show it and make it scrollable. The file comes from a fetch() with authorzation headers.
I could not find a way to do this without pdf.js.
- moi2388 1y agoThe html object tag can just show a pdf file by default. Just fetch it and pass the source there. What is the problem with that exactly in your case?
- jrochkind1 1y agoI think it can't do that on iOS? Don't know if that is the relevant thing in the choice being discussed though. Not sure about Android.
- rahkiin 1y agoThis made me try it once more and I got something to work with some Blobs, resource URLs, sanitazion and iframes. So I guess it is possible
- tripplyons 1y agoYeah, blobs seem like the right way to do it.
- rahkiin 1y agoThere does not seem to be a way to configure anything though. It looks quite bad with the default zoom level and the toolbar…
- silverwind 1y agohttps://www.npmjs.com/package/pdfobject https://www.npmjs.com/package/pdfobject works well as a wrapper around the <object> tag. No mobile support though.
