How to use PDF.js in your project

This time I will show you how to use PDF.js in the project, and what are the precautions for using PDF.js in the project. The following is a practical case, let's take a look.

It was once used when developing a policy preview on WeChat. Since the Android mobile browser does not support parsing PDF, PDF.js was used to parse the PDF and display it.

pdf.js is a technical prototype mainly used to display PDF documents on the HTML5 platform without any local technical support.

Online demo address: http://mozilla.github.com/pdf.js/web/viewer.html

PDF.js can be downloaded from the official website Address: http://mozilla. github.io/pdf.js/

The directory structure after decompression is:

The build directory is the core file of PDF.js.

The web directory is the configuration and display file of PDF.js.

viewer.html is responsible for displaying PDF, and viewer.js is the file responsible for configuration. In viewer.js:

where var DEFAULT_URL is the default parsed PDF file and can be replaced.

How to use pdf.js (1):

For simple use that only displays one PDF file, you only need to configure the

default path That's fine, but in many cases this method doesn't meet development needs.

How to use pdf.js (2):

Pass ?file=test.pdf after the address bar to complete the modification of the default path

http://localhost:8080/pdfjs/web/viewer.html?file=test.pdf //It’s best not to transmit Chinese. I haven’t tried it specifically

The test.pdf here can be taken as a relative path to the viewer.html (the absolute path of the entire server will also work)

How to use pdf.js (3):

Modify the path of the PDF by assigning a value to window.localStorage.pdf (after testing, it is best to write the path of the http protocol)

For example:

window.localStorage.pdf= 'http://localhost:8080/pdf/20140620/000000091534588.pdf';
window.location.href=basePath+"jsTool/openPDF/web/viewer.html";

How to use pdf.js (4):

Excerpted from (official website example) http://mozilla.github.io/pdf.js/examples/

1. The page introduces pdf.js.

2. Use PDFJS.getDocument('helloworld.pdf') method to load the PDF file to be opened.

3. Process subsequent methods through PDFJS.getDocument('helloworld.pdf').then(function(pdf){// you can now use *pdf* here}); then

4. pdf.getPage(1).then(function(page){// you can now use *page* here}); Load the first page of PDF

5. Through h5 canvas exhibit.

var scale = 1.5; 
var viewport = page.getViewport(scale); 
 
var canvas = document.getElementById('the-canvas'); 
var context = canvas.getContext('2d'); 
canvas.height = viewport.height; 
canvas.width = viewport.width; 
 
var renderContext = { 
 canvasContext: context, 
 viewport: viewport 
}; 
page.render(renderContext);

Complete example:

//引入pdf.js之后 
var url = '//cdn.mozilla.net/pdfjs/helloworld.pdf'; 
//加载核心文件 
PDFJS.workerSrc = '//mozilla.github.io/pdf.js/build/pdf.worker.js'; 
 
var loadingTask = PDFJS.getDocument(url); 
loadingTask.promise.then(function(pdf) { 
 console.log('PDF loaded'); 
  
 var pageNumber = 1; 
 pdf.getPage(pageNumber).then(function(page) { 
  console.log('Page loaded'); 
   
  var scale = 1.5; 
  var viewport = page.getViewport(scale); 
 
  var canvas = document.getElementById('the-canvas'); 
  var context = canvas.getContext('2d'); 
  canvas.height = viewport.height; 
  canvas.width = viewport.width; 
 
  var renderContext = { 
   canvasContext: context, 
   viewport: viewport 
  }; 
  var renderTask = page.render(renderContext); 
  renderTask.then(function () { 
   console.log('Page rendered'); 
  }); 
 }); 
}, function (reason) { 
 console.error(reason); 
});

Click to view page by page:

Page:

<script></script> 
 
<h1 id="PDF-js-Previous-Next-example">PDF.js Previous/Next example</h1> 
 
<p> 
 <button>Previous</button> 
 <button>Next</button> 
    
 <span>Page: <span></span> / <span></span></span> 
</p> 
 
<canvas></canvas>

js:

var url = '//cdn.mozilla.net/pdfjs/tracemonkey.pdf'; 
 
PDFJS.workerSrc = '//mozilla.github.io/pdf.js/build/pdf.worker.js'; 
 
var pdfDoc = null, 
  pageNum = 1, 
  pageRendering = false, 
  pageNumPending = null, 
  scale = 0.8, 
  canvas = document.getElementById('the-canvas'), 
  ctx = canvas.getContext('2d'); 
 
function renderPage(num) { 
 pageRendering = true; 
 pdfDoc.getPage(num).then(function(page) { 
  var viewport = page.getViewport(scale); 
  canvas.height = viewport.height; 
  canvas.width = viewport.width; 
 
  var renderContext = { 
   canvasContext: ctx, 
   viewport: viewport 
  }; 
  var renderTask = page.render(renderContext); 
 
  renderTask.promise.then(function() { 
   pageRendering = false; 
   if (pageNumPending !== null) { 
    // New page rendering is pending 
    renderPage(pageNumPending); 
    pageNumPending = null; 
   } 
  }); 
 }); 
 
 document.getElementById('page_num').textContent = pageNum; 
} 
 
function queueRenderPage(num) { 
 if (pageRendering) { 
  pageNumPending = num; 
 } else { 
  renderPage(num); 
 } 
} 
 
function onPrevPage() { 
 if (pageNum = pdfDoc.numPages) { 
  return; 
 } 
 pageNum++; 
 queueRenderPage(pageNum); 
} 
document.getElementById('next').addEventListener('click', onNextPage); 
 
PDFJS.getDocument(url).then(function(pdfDoc_) { 
 pdfDoc = pdfDoc_; 
 document.getElementById('page_count').textContent = pdfDoc.numPages; 
 
 renderPage(pageNum); 
});

The functions of this plug-in are very powerful. There are many downloads (downloads are not available on mobile phones) or page jump functions. If you don’t want customers to view them, you can hide or delete the corresponding buttons in viewer.html

Additional point: Viewer consumes system resources when parsing and rendering PDF, especially CPU resources. I don’t know if it is because my notebook configuration is low. While the page is loading and waiting, the IE process consumes 50-60% of CPU resources are lost. Clicking on the page turning operation or changing the window size of IE will trigger the viewer to re-parse and render the PDF. Sometimes moving a program window (such as a txt) blocking it on the IE front end will also cause re-rendering, but it is not triggered every time for unknown reasons.
