Get PDF information with callback
First define callback function "callBackFn" in your controller,

}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)"(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 cdnjs.cloudflare.com.
In your code update path to the worker to be for example /pdf.worker.js
(<any>window).pdfWorkerSrc = '/pdf.worker.js';This should be set before pdf-viewer component is rendered.
Search in the PDF
Use pdfFindController for search functionality.
In your component's ts file:
- Add reference to
pdf-viewer, - then when needed execute search()
@ViewChild(PdfViewerComponent) private pdfComponent: PdfViewerComponent;
search(stringToSearch: string) {
this.pdfComponent.pdfFindController.executeCommand('find', {
caseSensitive: false, findPrevious: undefined, highlightAll: true, phraseSearch: true, query: stringToSearch
});
}
