Easily display PDF files in your React application.
- Install by executing
npm install react-pdforyarn add react-pdf. - Import by addding
import { Document } from 'react-pdf'. - Use by adding
<Document file="..." />.filecan be an URL, base64 content, Uint8Array, and more. - Put
<Page />components inside<Document />to render pages.
Minimal demo page is included in sample directory.
Online demo is also available!
Your project needs to use React 15.5 or later. If you use older version of React, please refer to the table below to find suitable React-PDF version.
| React version | Newest supported React-PDF |
|---|---|
| >15.5 | latest |
| >15.0 | 1.6.1 |
| >0.14 | 0.0.10 |
| >0.13 | 0.0.10 |
| >0.11 | 0.0.4 |
Add React-PDF to your project by executing npm install react-pdf or yarn add react-pdf.
Here's an example of basic usage:
import React, { Component } from 'react';
import { Document, Page } from 'react-pdf';
class MyApp extends Component {
state = {
numPages: null,
pageNumber: 1,
}
onDocumentLoad({ numPages }) {
this.setState({ numPages });
}
render() {
return (
const { pageNumber, numPages } = this.state;
<div>
<Document
file="somefile.pdf"
onLoadSuccess={this.onDocumentLoad}
>
<Page pageNumber={pageNumber} />
</Document>
<p>Page {pageNumber} of {numPages}</p>
</div>
);
}

It is crucial for performance to use PDF.js worker whenever possible. This ensures that your PDF file will be rendered in a separate thread without affecting page performance. To make things a little easier, we've prepared several entry points you can use.
If you use Webpack, you're in luck. Instead of directly importing/requiring 'react-pdf', import it like so:
import { Document } from 'react-pdf/build/entry.webpack';…and you're all set!
If you use Browserify or other bundling tools, you will have to make sure on your own that pdf.worker.js file from pdfjs-dist/build is copied to your project's output folder.
If you absolutely have to, you can import React PDF with worker disabled. You can do so by importing React-PDF like so:
import { Document } from 'react-pdf/build/entry.noworker';Loads a document passed using file prop.
| Prop name | Description | Example values |
|---|---|---|
| className | Defines custom class name(s), that will be added to rendered element along with the default ReactPDF__Document. |
|
| error | Defines what the component should display in case of an error. Defaults to "Failed to load PDF file.". |
|
| file | Defines what PDF should be displayed. Its value can be an URL, a file (imported using import ... from ... or from file input form element), or an object with parameters (url - URL; data - data, preferably Uint8Array; range - PDFDataRangeTransport; httpHeaders - custom request headers, e.g. for authorization), withCredentials - a boolean to indicate whether or not to include cookies in the request (defaults to false). |
|
| loading | Defines what the component should display while loading. Defaults to "Loading PDF…". |
|
| noData | Defines what the component should display in case of no data. Defaults to "No PDF file specified.". |
|
| onLoadError | Function called in case of an error while loading a document. | (error) => alert('Error while loading document! ' + error.message) |
| onLoadSuccess | Function called when the document is successfully loaded. | (pdf) => alert('Loaded a file with ' + pdf.numPages + ' pages!') |
| onSourceError | Function called in case of an error while retrieving document source from file prop. |
(error) => alert('Error while retreiving document source! ' + error.message) |
| onSourceSuccess | Function called when document source is successfully retreived from file prop. |
() => alert('Document source retreived!') |
| rotate | Defines the rotation of the document in degrees. If provided, will change rotation globally, even for the pages which were given rotate prop of their own. 90 = rotated to the right, 180 = upside down, 270 = rotated to the left. |
90 |
Displays a page. Must be placed inside <Document /> or have pdf prop passed, which can be obtained from <Document />'s onLoadSuccess callback function.
Note: <Page/> must be a direct child of <Document /> component. <Document /> passes necessary props only to its direct children. If you wish to put a component in between of <Document /> and <Page/>, you must ensure to pass all the props to <Page/> component by yourself.
| Prop name | Description | Example values |
|---|---|---|
| className | Defines custom class name(s), that will be added to rendered element along with the default ReactPDF__Page. |
|
| onLoadError | Function called in case of an error while loading the page. | (error) => alert('Error while loading page! ' + error.message) |
| onLoadSuccess | Function called when the page is successfully loaded. | (page) => alert('Now displaying a page number ' + page.pageNumber + '!') |
| onRenderError | Function called in case of an error while rendering the page. | (error) => alert('Error while loading page! ' + error.message) |
| onRenderSuccess | Function called when the page is successfully rendered on the screen. | () => alert('Rendered the page!') |
| pageIndex | Defines which page from PDF file should be displayed. Defaults to 0. | 0 |
| pageNumber | Defines which page from PDF file should be displayed. If provided, pageIndex prop will be ignored. Defaults to 1. |
1 |
| renderTextLayer | Defines whether a text layer should be rendered. Defaults to true. | false |
| rotate | Defines the rotation of the page in degrees. 90 = rotated to the right, 180 = upside down, 270 = rotated to the left. Defaults to page's default setting, usually 0. | 90 |
| scale | Defines the scale in which PDF file should be rendered. Defaults to 1.0. | 0.5 |
| width | Defines the width of the page. If not defined, canvas will be rendered at the width defined in PDF. If you define width and scale at the same time, the width will be multiplied by a given factor. |
300 |
Displays an outline (table of contents). Must be placed inside <Document /> or have pdf prop passed, which can be obtained from <Document />'s onLoadSuccess callback function.
| Prop name | Description | Example values |
|---|---|---|
| className | Defines custom class name(s), that will be added to rendered element along with the default ReactPDF__Outline. |
|
| onItemClick | Function called when an item has been clicked. | ({ pageNumber }) => alert('Clicked an item from page ' + pageNumber + '!') |
| onLoadError | Function called in case of an error while retreiving the outline. | (error) => alert('Error while retreiving the outline! ' + error.message) |
| onLoadSuccess | Function called when the outline is successfully retreived. | () => alert('The outline has been successfully retreived.') |
| onParseError | Function called in case of an error while parsing the outline. | (error) => alert('Error while parsing the outline! ' + error.message) |
| onParseSuccess | Function called when the outline is successfully parsed. | ({ outline }) => alert('There are ' + outline.length + ' top level items in the table of contents.') |

This project wouldn't be possible without awesome work of Niklas Närhinen niklas@narhinen.net who created its initial version and without Mozilla, author of pdf.js. Thank you!
