WebViewer is a powerful JavaScript-based PDF Library that is part of the Apryse SDK. It provides a slick out-of-the-box responsive UI that enables you to view, annotate and manipulate PDFs and other document types inside any web project.
This sample is designed to show you how to integrate WebViewer into a React project. Read more about integrating with React.
You can watch a video here to help you get started.
A license key is required to run WebViewer. You can obtain a trial key in our get started guides, or by signing-up on our developer portal.
Before you begin, make sure your development environment includes Node.js.
This sample requires Node version 20. To check your version, run node -v in a terminal/console window.
In order to set the license key, you will need to set the string in the WebViewer sample. One such way is by passing it into the constructor of the WebViewer: https://docs.apryse.com/documentation/web/faq/add-license/#passing-into-constructor
Follow the steps below to set the license key in this sample:
- Locate the app.component.ts file at src/app.js
- Replace "your_license_key" with your license
- Save the file
git clone --depth=1 https://github.com/ApryseSDK/webviewer-samples.git
cd webviewer-samples/webviewer-react
npm install
npm start
After the app starts, you will be able to see WebViewer running on localhost:3000.
