Angular PDF Viewer
An AngularJS directive to display PDFs. DEMO
Dependencies
Usage
bower install angular-pdf-viewer
Include the path to the lib, AngularJS and PDFJS:
Include the lib as a dependency in your angular app:
var app = angular.module('App', ['pdf']);
Directive
The URL, request headers, scale and delegate-handle can be set using the attributes:
delegate-handle="my-pdf-container"
url="pdfUrl"
scale="1"
show-toolbar="true"
headers="{ 'x-you-know-whats-awesome': 'EVERYTHING' }">
Delegate Service (pdfDelegate)
The pdfDelegate service allows you to access and control individual instances of a directive. This allows us to have multiple instances of the same directive in the same controller.
Inject the pdfDelegate service into your controller. You can then fetch an instance using it's delegate handle and call methods on it:
pdfDelegate.$getByHandle('my-pdf-container').zoomIn();
The following methods are available to the delegate:
prev
next
zoomIn(amount) default amount = 0.2
zoomOut(amount) default amount = 0.2
zoomTo(amount)
rotate (clockwise by 90 degrees)
getPageCount
getCurrentPage
goToPage(pageNumber)
load
Change the PDF File
In order to replace the active PDF with another one, you can call the load method of the delegate. For example:
pdfDelegate
.$getByHandle('my-pdf-container')
.load('url-of-the-new-file.pdf');
Example
Run npm install && bower install to install all dependencies. And then gulp dev to start a local server. The example will now be available at localhost:3000/src
Toolbar
The default toolbar can be shown or hidden using the show-toolbar attribute. Since the PDF can be easily controlled using the delegate service it's quite trivial to build a custom toolbar. Or place the toolbar on a separate scope.
