Display PDFs in your React app as easily as if they were images.
- Install by executing
npm install react-pdforyarn add react-pdf. - Import by adding
import { Document } from 'react-pdf'. - Use by adding
<Document file="..." />.filecan be a URL, base64 content, Uint8Array, and more. - Put
<Page />components inside<Document />to render pages.
Minimal demo page is included in sample directory.
Online demo is also available!
Your project needs to use React 15.5 or later. If you use older version of React, please refer to the table below to find suitable React-PDF version.
| React version | Newest supported React-PDF |
|---|---|
| >15.5 | latest |
| >15.0 | 1.6.1 |
| >0.14 | 0.0.10 |
| >0.13 | 0.0.10 |
| >0.11 | 0.0.4 |
Add React-PDF to your project by executing npm install react-pdf or yarn add react-pdf.
Here's an example of basic usage:
import React, { Component } from 'react';
import { Document, Page } from 'react-pdf';
class MyApp extends Component {
state = {
numPages: null,
pageNumber: 1,
}
onDocumentLoad = ({ numPages }) => {
this.setState({ numPages });
}
render() {
const { pageNumber, numPages } = this.state;
return (
<div>
<Document
file="somefile.pdf"
onLoadSuccess={this.onDocumentLoad}
>
<Page pageNumber={pageNumber} />
</Document>
<p>Page {pageNumber} of {numPages}</p>
</div>
);
}

It is crucial for performance to use PDF.js worker whenever possible. This ensures that your PDF file will be rendered in a separate thread without affecting page performance. To make things a little easier, we've prepared several entry points you can use.
If you use Webpack, you're in luck. Instead of directly importing/requiring 'react-pdf', import it like so:
import { Document } from 'react-pdf/dist/entry.webpack';…and you're all set!
If you use Parcel, it's not a problem either. Instead of directly importing/requiring 'react-pdf', import it like so:
import { Document } from 'react-pdf/dist/entry.parcel';…and you're done!
If you use Browserify or other bundling tools, you will have to make sure on your own that pdf.worker.js file from pdfjs-dist/build is copied to your project's output folder.
If you absolutely have to, you can import React PDF with worker disabled. You can do so by importing React-PDF like so:
import { Document } from 'react-pdf/dist/entry.noworker';If you want to use annotations (e.g. links) in PDFs rendered by React-PDF, then you would need to include stylesheet necessary for annotations to be correctly displayed like so:
import 'react-pdf/dist/Page/AnnotationLayer.css';If you want to ensure that PDFs with non-latin characters will render perfectly, or you have encountered the following warning:
Warning: CMap baseUrl must be specified, see "PDFJS.cMapUrl" (and also "PDFJS.cMapPacked").
then you would also need to include cMaps in your build and tell React-PDF where they are.
First, you need to copy cMaps from pdfjs-dist (React-PDF's dependency - it should be in your node_modules if you have React-PDF installed). cMaps are located in pdfjs-dist/cmaps.
Add copy-webpack-plugin to your project if you haven't already:
npm install copy-webpack-plugin --save-dev
Now, in your Webpack config, import the plugin:
import CopyWebpackPlugin from 'copy-webpack-plugin';and in plugins section of your config, add the following:
new CopyWebpackPlugin([
{
from: 'node_modules/pdfjs-dist/cmaps/',
to: 'cmaps/'
},
]),If you use Parcel, Browserify or other bundling tools, you will have to make sure on your own that cMaps are copied to your project's output folder.
Now that you have cMaps in your build, import setOptions like so:
import { setOptions } from 'react-pdf';Note: If you're using a different entry point, for example react-pdf/build/entry.webpack', you can should use the same entry point to import setOptions. You can also add setOptions to the same import you're using to import Document, Page, and/or other components.
setOptions({
cMapUrl: 'cmaps/',
cMapPacked: true,
});Loads a document passed using file prop.
| Prop name | Description | Example values |
|---|---|---|
| className | Defines custom class name(s), that will be added to rendered element along with the default react-pdf__Document. |
|
| error | Defines what the component should display in case of an error. Defaults to "Failed to load PDF file.". |
|
| file | Defines what PDF should be displayed. Its value can be an URL, a file (imported using import ... from ... or from file input form element), or an object with parameters (url - URL; data - data, preferably Uint8Array; range - PDFDataRangeTransport; httpHeaders - custom request headers, e.g. for authorization), withCredentials - a boolean to indicate whether or not to include cookies in the request (defaults to false). |
|
| inputRef | A function that behaves like ref, but it's passed to main <div> rendered by <Document> component. |
(ref) => { this.myDocument = ref; } |
| loading | Defines what the component should display while loading. Defaults to "Loading PDF…". |
|
| noData | Defines what the component should display in case of no data. Defaults to "No PDF file specified.". |
|
| onItemClick | Function called when an item has been clicked. Usually, you would like to use this callback to move the user wherever they requested to. | ({ pageNumber }) => alert('Clicked an item from page ' + pageNumber + '!') |
| onLoadError | Function called in case of an error while loading a document. | (error) => alert('Error while loading document! ' + error.message) |
| onLoadSuccess | Function called when the document is successfully loaded. | (pdf) => alert('Loaded a file with ' + pdf.numPages + ' pages!') |

| rotate | Defines the rotation of the document in degrees. If provided, will change rotation globally, even for the pages which were given rotate prop of their own. 90 = rotated to the right, 180 = upside down, 270 = rotated to the left. |
90 |
Displays a page. Must be placed inside <Document /> or have pdf prop passed, which can be obtained from <Document />'s onLoadSuccess callback function.
Note: <Page/> must be a direct child of <Document /> component. <Document /> passes necessary props only to its direct children. If you wish to put a component in between of <Document /> and <Page/>, you must ensure to pass all the props to <Page/> component by yourself.
