Version 10.2.3 Changelog (2023-06-26)

Beta WebViewer as a Web Component

Starting in 10.2 you will have the option to instantiate WebViewer as a Web Component instead of an Iframe. Not all features may be supported at this time, but we recommend you start testing your application with the Web Component to ensure a smooth transition when we deprecate the iframe constructor in a future release.

To try out the Web Component all you need to do is switch your WebViewer constructor:

sh

1import WebViewer from '@pdftron/webviewer'
2
3WebViewer.WebComponent({
4  path: '/public/webviewer',
5  licenseKey: 'YOUR_LICENSE_KEY',
6}, document.getElementById('viewer'))
7 ..........

For more information on Web Components and their advantages over Iframes please refer to this guide.
