PDF Viewer

Published July 2021

Plugin details

An open-source standards-friendly JavaScript utility for embedding PDF files into HTML documents.
If you're working with dynamic HTML, such as a single-page web app, you may need to insert PDFs on-the-fly. However, PDF embedding is not supported by certain browsers.

The PDF Viewer utility helps you avoid these situations by detecting support for PDF embedding in the browser; if embedding is supported, the PDF is embedded. If embedding is NOT supported by the browser, the PDF will NOT be embedded.

Relies on UNPKG
March 15th, 2025
The plugin is hosted on UNPKG. It's an unreliable free CDN that caused our app to slow dramatically on March 14.
Its a great plugin, it could be greater.

If it were possible to disable the print and download buttons, it would suit many people who are concerned about data privacy.
