WebViewer comes with a 7-day trial without any feature limitations or trial key needed. To extend the trial, you can obtain the trial key by signing-up on our developer portal.
Full get-started guides and videos are available in our docs.
1) Install WebViewer
npm i @pdftron/webviewer --save
This will also download all the assets that need to be included for WebViewer to work.
2) Copy assets and resources to your public/static folder
These assets need to be served with your application. For example, if your project is built into a dist folder, you could copy these assets into dist/public.
The folder you need to copy is node_modules/@pdftron/webviewer/public.
cp -R ./node_modules/@pdftron/webviewer/public ./dist
We recommend using a module bundler like Webpack to automatically do this for you. There is a nice plugin called copy-webpack-plugin that does just this.
3) Import and instantiate WebViewer
import WebViewer from '@pdftron/webviewer'
const element = document.getElementById('viewer');
WebViewer({
path: '/public', // point to where the files you copied are served from
initialDoc: 'https://pdftron.s3.amazonaws.com/downloads/pl/PDFTRON_about.pdf' // path to your document
}, element).then((instance) => {
// Call APIs here
