PDF Manipulation with JavaScript Library

When WebViewer's JavaScript PDF library is running in client only mode it is able to perform many different kinds of page manipulations. These include rotating, cropping, reordering, adding, and deleting pages. Instead of temporarily modifying the document in the viewer, these operations modify the actual PDF data.

Here is the full source-code to the application referred to in the video.

This means that when the download button is pressed or getFileData is called, the returned PDF will have the manipulations applied and they will be visible in any PDF viewer.

If you're using the WebViewer Server deployment option then you'll need to enable the forceClientSideInit: true constructor option. This will initialize the document with WebViewer Server and then switch to client side processing.

Page manipulation only works with PDF documents. When working with Office documents, enable the loadAsPDF: true constructor option to automatically convert office files to PDF format before performing page manipulations.

Page manipulation is the ability to perform changes to pages.
