Generic build of PDF.js library.

Jonas Jenwald 59548921d1 For documents with different page sizes, ensure that the correct page becomes visible on load when e.g. the 'page' hash parameter was provided (bug 1191279, issue 6393) This issue is actually, in a sense, "caused" by the fact that the API/viewer supports partial loading/rendering. Previously when the entire document was always fetched before rendering begun, we knew all page sizes in advance and this issue didn't exist. Now we use the size of one page in order to set the initial size of every page, until we've fetched the pages and thus know their correct sizes. This means that during loading the size of the pages can change, which may cause the initial position to become scrolled out of view. The most naive solution to this problem would perhaps be to delay setting the initial position on load for all documents, until all pages are fetched. However I think that would be a really bad idea, since doing so would make the initial rendering slower and make it feel sluggish for most documents. Since there is generally no way of knowing if a document has different sized pages prior to loading it, we can only check once the pages are available. Hence this patch, which treats documents with different sized pages as a special case, by re-applying the initial position when all pages have become available.		10 years ago

README.md

PDF.js

PDF.js is a Portable Document Format (PDF) viewer that is built with HTML5.

PDF.js is community-driven and supported by Mozilla Labs. Our goal is to create a general-purpose, web standards-based platform for parsing and rendering PDFs.

Contributing

PDF.js is an open source project and always looking for more contributors. To get involved checkout:

For further questions or guidance feel free to stop by #pdfjs on irc.mozilla.org.

Getting Started

Online demo

http://mozilla.github.io/pdf.js/web/viewer.html

Browser Extensions

Firefox

PDF.js is built into version 19+ of Firefox, however one extension is still available:

Development Version - This version is updated every time new code is merged into the PDF.js codebase. This should be quite stable but still might break from time to time.

Chrome and Opera

The official extension for Chrome can be installed from the Chrome Web Store. This extension is maintained by @Rob--W.
Opera has also published an extension for their browser at the Opera add-ons catalog.
Build Your Own - Get the code as explained below and issue node make chromium. Then open Chrome, go to Tools > Extension and load the (unpackaged) extension from the directory build/chromium.

Getting the Code

To get a local copy of the current code, clone it using git:

$ git clone git://github.com/mozilla/pdf.js.git
$ cd pdf.js

Next, install Node.js via the official package or via nvm. If everything worked out, run

$ npm install

to install all dependencies for PDF.js.

Finally you need to start a local web server as some browsers do not allow opening PDF files using a file:// URL. Run

$ node make server

and then you can open

http://localhost:8888/web/viewer.html

It is also possible to view all test PDF files on the right side by opening

http://localhost:8888/test/pdfs/?frame

Building PDF.js

In order to bundle all src/ files into two productions scripts and build the generic viewer, issue:

$ node make generic

This will generate pdf.js and pdf.worker.js in the build/generic/build/ directory. Both scripts are needed but only pdf.js needs to be included since pdf.worker.js will be loaded by pdf.js. If you want to support more browsers than Firefox you'll also need to include compatibility.js from build/generic/web/. The PDF.js files are large and should be minified for production.
