# Integrate WebViewer into Electron Project

This sample integrates WebViewer into an Electron project

This sample shows how to integrate WebViewer into an Electron project to create a desktop application.

WebViewer 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.

```js
const viewerElement = document.getElementById("viewer");

const openFileBtn = document.getElementById("open");
const saveFileBtn = document.getElementById("save");

WebViewer(
  {
    path: "../lib/webviewer",
    initialDoc: "https://apryse.s3.amazonaws.com/public/files/samples/WebviewerDemoDoc.pdf",
  },
  viewerElement
).then((instance) => {
  // Interact with APIs here.
  instance.UI.setTheme('dark');
  instance.UI.disableElements(['downloadButton']);

  const { documentViewer, annotationManager } = instance.Core;

  openFileBtn.onclick = async () => {
    const filePath = await window.electronAPI.openFile();
    if (!filePath) {
      return;
    }
    instance.UI.loadDocument(filePath);
  };

  saveFileBtn.onclick = async () => {
    const doc = documentViewer.getDocument();
    const xfdfString = await annotationManager.exportAnnotations();
    const data = await doc.getFileData({
      // saves the document with annotations in it
      xfdfString,
    });
    const arr = new Uint8Array(data);

    window.electronAPI.saveFile(arr);
  };
});

```

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.apryse.com/web/get-started/samples/webviewer-electron.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
