# PDF.js viewer Angular directive
Embed Mozilla's [PDF.js](https://mozilla.github.io/pdf.js/) viewer into your angular application, maintaining that look and feel
of pdf's we all love. The directive embeds the [full viewer](https://mozilla.github.io/pdf.js/web/viewer.html), which
allows you to scroll through the pdf.
## Installation
bower install angular-pdfjs-viewer --save
npm install angular-pdfjs-viewer --save
## Usage
Below you will find a basic example of how the directive can be used.
Note that the order of the scripts matters. Stick to the order of dependencies as shown in the example below.
Also note that images, translations and such are being loaded from the `web` folder.
### View
```html
Angular PDF.js demo
```
### Controller
```js
angular.module('app', ['pdfjsViewer']);
angular.module('app').controller('AppCtrl', function($scope) {
$scope.pdf = {
src: 'example.pdf',
};
});
```
## Directive options
The `` directive takes the following attributes.
#### `src`
The source should point to the URL of a publicly available pdf.
Note that the `src` must be passed in as an interpolation string.
```html
```
```javascript
$scope.src = "http://example.com/file.pdf";
```
---
#### `data`
In the case that you cannot simply use the URL of the pdf, you can pass in raw data as
a [Uint8Array](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Uint8Array) object.
The `data` attribute takes a scope variable as its argument.
```html
```
```javascript
$scope.data = null; // this is loaded async
$http.get("http://example.com/file.pdf", {
responseType: 'arraybuffer'
}).then(function (response) {
$scope.data = new Uint8Array(response.data);
});
```
---
#### `scale`
The `scale` attribute can be used to obtain the current scale (zoom level) of the PDF.
The value will be stored in the variable specified. **This is read only**.
```html
```
---
#### `download, print, open`
These buttons are by default all visible in the toolbar and can be hidden.
```html
```
---
#### `on-init`
The `on-init` function is called when PDF.JS is fully loaded.
```html
```
```javascript
$scope.onInit = function () {
// pdf.js is initialized
}
```
---
#### `on-page-load`
The `on-page-load` function is each time a page is loaded and will pass the page number.
When the scale changes all pages are unloaded, so `on-page-load` will be called again for each page.
_If `onPageLoad()` returns `false`, the page will not be marked as loaded and `onPageLoad` will be called again for that page on the next (200ms) interval._
```html
```
```javascript
$scope.onPageLoad = function (page) {
// page is loaded
};
```
---
## Styling
The `` directive automatically expands to the height and width of its first immediate parent, in the case of the example `.some-pdf-container`.
If no parent container is given the html `body` will be used. Height and width are required to properly display the contents of the pdf.
## Demo
You can test out a [demo](https://github.com/legalthings/angular-pdfjs-viewer/tree/master/demo) of this directive.
You must run the node server first due to CORS. First make sure the dependencies are installed.
cd demo
npm install
bower install
Afterwards run the server like so.
node server.js
The server will be running on localhost:8080
## Advanced configuration
By default the location of PDF.js assets are automatically determined. However if you place them on alternative
locations they may not be found. If so, you can configure these locations.
You may disable using the [Web Workers API](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Web_Workers_API).
This is useful if you want to add pdf.worker.js to your concatinated JavaScript file. However this will have a
negative effect on the runtime performance.
angular.module('app').config(function(pdfjsViewerConfigProvider) {
pdfjsViewerConfigProvider.setWorkerSrc("/assets/pdf.js-viewer/pdf.worker.js");
pdfjsViewerConfigProvider.setCmapDir("/assets/pdf.js-viewer/cmaps");
pdfjsViewerConfigProvider.setImageDir("/assets/pdf.js-viewer/images");
pdfjsViewerConfigProvider.disableWorker();
pdfjsViewerConfigProvider.setVerbosity("infos"); // "errors", "warnings" or "infos"
});
Note that a number of images used in the PDF.js viewer are loaded by the `viewer.css`. You can't configure these
through JavaScript. Instead you need to compile the `viewer.less` file as
lessc --global-var='pdfjsImagePath=/assets/pdf.js-viewer/images' viewer.less viewer.css
