const MultiViewerExample = () => {
  const pdfFiles = [
    'pdfs/test-pdf-a.pdf',
    {
      title:
        'Trace-based Just-in-Time Type Specialization for DynamicLanguages',

  ];

  return (
    <PdfMultiViewer
      pdfs={pdfFiles}
      i18nData={{
        download: 'Herunterladen',
        scaleDown: 'Verkleinern',
        scaleUp: 'Vergrößern',
        originalSize: 'Originalgröße',
        pages: 'Seiten',
        zoom: 'Automatischer Zoom',
      }}
    />
  );
};

export default MultiViewerExample;

Example Usage Renderer (Typescript)

import React, { FC, useState, useEffect } from 'react';
import { PdfRenderer, PdfjsLib, PDFDocumentProxy } from 'react-pdfjs-multi';

PdfjsLib.GlobalWorkerOptions.workerSrc =
  '//cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/pdf.js/2.5.207/pdf.worker.js';

const RendererExample: FC = () => {
  const [pdfDoc, setPdfDoc] = useState<PDFDocumentProxy>();

  useEffect(() => {
    const getPdfDoc = async () => {
      const doc = await PdfjsLib.getDocument({
        url: 'pdfs/compressed.tracemonkey-pldi-09.pdf',
      }).promise;

      setPdfDoc(doc);
    };

    getPdfDoc();
  }, []);

  if (!pdfDoc) return null;

  return <PdfRenderer pdfDoc={pdfDoc} downloadBtn={false} />;
};

export default RendererExample;

PdfMultiViewer

The MultiViewer allows you to pass an array of source strings or an object definition and it then loads all PDF's async and shows the renderer as soon as the first PDF is loaded.

Props:

Name	Required	Default	Type	Description
pdfs	true		{array}	An array of strings or objects
autoZoom		true	{boolean}	enables/disables autoZoom on component mount and window resize
controls		true	{boolean}	enables/disables controls to e.g. change renderer zoom
i18nData		{}*	{I18nData}	An object of translated strings, default language is en
startIndex		0	{number}	first pdf to load using array index

i18n

To be able to use different i18n libraries eg. i18next or react-intl you can pass an i18n object with translated strings to the component.

*defaults:

{
  // Viewer
  pages: 'Pages',
  // Renderer
  zoom: 'Automatic zoom',
  originalSize: 'Original size',
  rotateLeft: 'Rotate left',
  rotateRight: 'Rotate right',
  scaleUp: 'Scale up',
  scaleDown: 'Scale down',
  download: 'Download',
}

PdfRenderer

If you like to implement your own custom multi renderer logic you can use the PdfRenderer component. For an implementation example see Example.
