Version: 2.1.3

An AngularJS directive ng-pdf to display PDF files with PDFJS.

Integrate PDF files right into web pages.

Check bower.json file for dependencies and their versions:

1. AngularJS - get the latest angular.min.js

• PDFJS - build the files pdf.js and pdf.worker.js
• Waypoints - get the latest waypoints bower package and include noframework.waypoints.min.js in your project.
• Evergreen browsers

1. zoom in / out / fit 100%

• rotate clockwise
• continous scrolling through pages
• confine rendering to container
• define the view template
• define the path to pdf with scope variable
• handles error
• show loading of pdf
• show progress percentage of loading pdf
• dynamically change the pdf url
• support retina canvas

1. install or copy over the file dist/angular-pdf.min.js or dist/angular-pdf.js

   bower install angular-pdf

• include the path to the direcitve file in index.html

  <script src="js/vendor/angular-pdf/dist/angular-pdf.js"></script>

• include the directive as a dependency when defining the angular app:

  var app = angular.module('App', ['pdf']);

• include the directive with the attribute path to the partial under a controller

  <div class="wrapper" ng-controller="DocCtrl">
      <ng-pdf template-url="/partials/viewer.html"></ng-pdf>
  </div>

  • scale as an option

    <ng-pdf template-url="/partials/viewer.html" scale=1></ng-pdf>

    scale attribute can also be page-fit

    <ng-pdf template-url="/partials/viewer.html" scale="page-fit"></ng-pdf>

  • containerid as an option for id of the canvas container (default for containerid is pdf-container)

    <ng-pdf template-url="/partials/viewer.html" containerid="mycanvas"></ng-pdf>

  • usecredentials as an option to add credentials / authorisation

    <ng-pdf template-url="/partials/viewer.html" usecredentials="true"></ng-pdf>

  • debug to enable debugging console output (optional, disabled by default)

    <ng-pdf template-url="/partials/viewer.html" debug="true"></ng-pdf>

• include the container element to display the pdf in the template-url file

  <div id="pdf-container">
       <canvas ng-repeat="id in pageIDs" ng-attr-id="{{id}}"></canvas>
  </div>

  you have to use the pageIDs to find the list of IDs for each page and set the attribute id accordingly. The canvas element can be styled as you with.

• include the path to the pdf file in the controller

  app.controller('DocCtrl', function($scope) {
      $scope.pdfUrl = '/pdf/relativity.pdf';
  });

  or provide a value for pdfData field of the parent.

1. Zoom in / out / fit 100%: Include the controls in the view file as defined in the attribute template-url

   <button ng-click="zoomIn()">+</span></button>
   <button ng-click="fit()">100%</span></button>
   <button ng-click="zoomOut()">-</span></button>
   

• Rotate clockwise: Include the controls in the view file as defined in the attribute template-url and the initial class rotate0

  <button ng-click="rotate()">90</span></button>
  ...
  <canvas id="pdf-canvas" class="rotate0"></canvas>

  include the css styles:

  .rotate0 {-webkit-transform: rotate(0deg); transform: rotate(0deg); }
  .rotate90 {-webkit-transform: rotate(90deg); transform: rotate(90deg); }
  .rotate180 {-webkit-transform: rotate(180deg); transform: rotate(180deg); }
  .rotate270 {-webkit-transform: rotate(270deg); transform: rotate(270deg); }

• Confine the rendering within fixed size container: When the canvas elements are included in a fixed size controller, the waypoints need to be given the parent context. Add the option context="containerID" to ng-pdf directive to indicate this. This way, the current page is corectly updated on scroll.

• Fixed pdf controls upon scrolling: Wrap the controls in the view file as defined in the attribute template-url with a tag nav with an ng-class. Amend the scroll amount as required.

  <nav ng-class="{'pdf-controls fixed': scroll > 100, 'pdf-controls': scroll <= 100}">
  ...
  </nav>

  And include the relevant css styles as required:

  .pdf-controls { width: 100%; display: block; background: #eee; padding: 1em;}
  .fixed { position: fixed; top: 0; left: calc(50% - 480px); z-index: 100; width: 100%; padding: 1em; background: rgba(238, 238, 238,.9); width: 960px; }

• open the file index.html with a web server

Create a Blob:

currentBlob = new Blob([result], {type: 'application/pdf'});
$scope.pdfUrl = URL.createObjectURL(currentBlob);

or set attribute pdfData.

In the controller, you can call the function $scope.onError:

$scope.onError = function(error) {
	// handle the error
	// console.log(error);
}

angularjs-pdf uses waypoints to determine on what page the current view is. Display variable pageNum to inform the user or the postition. pageNum is automatically updated upon scrolling.

In the controller, you can call the function $scope.onLoad when the pdf succesfully loaded:

$scope.loading = 'loading';

$scope.onLoad = function() {
  // do something when pdf is fully loaded
  // $scope.loading = '';
}

In the controller, you can call the function $scope.onProgress

$scope.onProgress = function(progress) {
	// handle a progress bar
  	// progress% = progress.loaded / progress.total
  	// console.log(progress);
}

1. If using with Angular UI modal, pageNum attribute is no longer required. Checkout the implementation
