Usage

In case you're using systemjs see configuration here.

Add PdfViewerModule to your module's imports

import { NgModule } from '@angular/core';
import { BrowserModule } from '@angular/platform-browser';
import { AppComponent } from './app/app.component';

  bootstrap: [AppComponent]
})

class AppModule {}

platformBrowserDynamic().bootstrapModule(AppModule);

And then use it in your component

import { Component } from '@angular/core';

@Component({
  selector: 'example-app',
  template: `
  <pdf-viewer [src]="pdfSrc"
              [render-text]="true"

              style="width: 400px; height: 500px"
  ></pdf-viewer>
  `
})
export class AppComponent {
  pdfSrc = "https://vadimdez.github.io/ng2-pdf-viewer/assets/pdf-test.pdf";
}

[src]

Property	Type	Required
[src]	string, object, UInt8Array	Required

}

[page]

Property	Type	Required
[page] or [(page)]	number	Required with [show-all]="false" or Optional with [show-all]="true"

Page number

[page]="1"

supports two way data binding as well

[(page)]="pageVariable"

If you want that the two way data binding actually updates your page variable on page change/scroll - you have to be sure that you define the height of the container, for example:

pdf-viewer {
    height: 100vh;
}

[stick-to-page]

[render-text]	boolean	Optional

Enable text rendering, allows to select text

[render-text]="true"

[render-text-mode]

[zoom-scale]

Property	Type	Required
[zoom-scale]	'page-width'\|'page-fit'\|'page-height'	Optional

Defines how the Zoom scale is computed when [original-size]="false", by default set to 'page-width'.

'page-width' with zoom of 1 will display a page width that take all the possible horizontal space in the container
'page-height' with zoom of 1 will display a page height that take all the possible vertical space in the container
'page-fit' with zoom of 1 will display a page that will be scaled to either width or height to fit completely in the container

[zoom-scale]="'page-width'"

[original-size]

Property	Type	Required
[original-size]	boolean	Optional

if set to true - size will be as same as original document
if set to false - size will be as same as container block

Property	Type	Required
[show-borders]	boolean	Optional

Show page borders

[show-borders]="true"

(after-load-complete)

Property	Type	Required
(after-load-complete)	callback	Optional

Get PDF information with callback

First define callback function "callBackFn" in your controller,

callBackFn(pdf: PDFDocumentProxy) {
   // do anything with "pdf"
}

And then use it in your template:

(after-load-complete)="callBackFn($event)"

(page-rendered)

Property	Type	Required
(page-rendered)	callback	Optional

Get event when a page is rendered. Called for every page rendered.

Define callback in your component:

pageRendered(e: CustomEvent) {
  console.log('(page-rendered)', e);
}

And then bind it to <pdf-viewer>:

(page-rendered)="pageRendered($event)"

(pages-initialized)

Property	Type	Required
(pages-initialized)	callback	Optional

Get event when the pages are initialized.

Define callback in your component:

pageInitialized(e: CustomEvent) {
  console.log('(pages-initialized)', e);
}

And then bind it to <pdf-viewer>:

(pages-initialized)="pageInitialized($event)"

(text-layer-rendered)

Property	Type	Required
(text-layer-rendered)	callback	Optional

Get event when a text layer is rendered.

Define callback in your component:

textLayerRendered(e: CustomEvent) {
  console.log('(text-layer-rendered)', e);
}

And then bind it to <pdf-viewer>:

(text-layer-rendered)="textLayerRendered($event)"

(error)

Property	Type	Required
(error)	callback	Optional

Error handling callback

Define callback in your component's class

onError(error: any) {
  // do anything
}

Then add it to pdf-component in component's template

(error)="onError($event)"

(on-progress)

Property	Type	Required
(on-progress)	callback	Optional

Loading progress callback - provides progress information total and loaded bytes. Is called several times during pdf loading phase.

Define callback in your component's class

onProgress(progressData: PDFProgressData) {
  // do anything with progress data. For example progress indicator
}

Then add it to pdf-component in component's template

(on-progress)="onProgress($event)"

Render local PDF file

In your html template add input:

<input (change)="onFileSelected()" type="file" id="file">

and then add onFileSelected method to your component:

onFileSelected() {
  let $img: any = document.querySelector('#file');

  if (typeof (FileReader) !== 'undefined') {
    let reader = new FileReader();

    reader.onload = (e: any) => {
      this.pdfSrc = e.target.result;
    };

    reader.readAsArrayBuffer($img.files[0]);
  }
}

Set custom path to the worker

By default the worker is loaded from cdn.jsdelivr.net.

In your code update path to the worker to be for example /pdf.worker.mjs

(window as any).pdfWorkerSrc = '/pdf.worker.mjs';

This should be set before pdf-viewer component is rendered.

If you ever have a (super rare) edge case where you run in an environment that multiple components are somehow loaded within the same web page, sharing the same window, but using different versions of pdf.worker, support has been added. You can do the above, except that you can append the specific version of pdfjs required and override the custom path just for that version. This way setting the global window var won't conflict.

(window as any)["pdfWorkerSrc2.14.305"] = '/pdf.worker.mjs';

Search in the PDF

Use eventBus for the search functionality.

In your component's ts file:

Add reference to pdf-viewer component,
then when needed execute search() like this:

@ViewChild(PdfViewerComponent) private pdfComponent: PdfViewerComponent;

search(stringToSearch: string) {
  this.pdfComponent.eventBus.dispatch('find', {
    query: stringToSearch, type: 'again', caseSensitive: false, findPrevious: undefined, highlightAll: true, phraseSearch: true
  });
}
