PDFJS Processing

The Kendo UI PDFViewer widget uses the pdf.js library by default, if no processing configuration is defined. PDF.JS is an open-source project developed by Mozilla.

Basic Configuration

PDF.JS Processing requires pdfjs lib scripts added to the page.

An example of a PDFViewer widget configured to use PDF.JS Processing.

Example

<div id="pdfviewer"></div>
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/pdf.js/2.2.2/pdf.js"></script>
<script>
    window.pdfjsLib.GlobalWorkerOptions.workerSrc = 'https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/pdf.js/2.2.2/pdf.worker.js';
</script>
<script>
    $("#pdfviewer").kendoPDFViewer({
        pdfjsProcessing: {
            file: ""
        }
    });
</script>

Troubleshooting

Important

PDF.JS Processing is not supported in IE9

PDF.JS requires additional configuration, to work properly in IE11.

Example

<script>
    // The workerSrc property should be specified for IE support
    window.pdfjsLib.GlobalWorkerOptions.workerSrc = 'https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/pdf.js/2.2.2/pdf.worker.js';
</script>
