pdfListView

NOTE: THIS REPO IS NO LONGER MAINTAINED, SEE: #22

A simple list view to render a PDF document using PDF.JS.

Project Goals

provide basic functionality to build a viewer around the PDF.JS library
while this library provides the founcation to build a PDF viewer, it only ships with a simple default viewer implementation for demo purpose
uses no library/framework other than the PDF.JS library
flexible, modular, easy to replace parts with other implementations

Future Plans & Missing Implementations

cache rendered pages
use already rendered page image as placeholder if the zoom of the page changes
two pages support
page-wise scrolling
full-screen support
form support
annotation support
more APIs: go to next/previous page, rotatePage, ...
indicator (spinner) when page has not finished rendering
search
printing (as much as this is possible with current browsers)

Run locally

Some browsers (like Chrome) need to load the index.html file using a local web server. This can easily done by installing the dev-dependencies:

$> npm install

Starting the server is done by executing:

$> grunt server

This will start a local web server on port 9996. To server the index.html, point your browser at http://localhost:9996/.
