How to use vue-pdf package to implement pdf file preview, support paging

Vue project implements PDF file preview function

Download the vue-pdf package

npm install --save vue-pdf

template template content:

//pdf component<pdf :src="pdfFile" 
	:page="currentPage" 
	@num-pages="pageCount=$event" 
	@page-loaded="currentPage=$event" 
	@loaded="loadPdf">
</pdf>

//Pagination<div class="pageButton">
      <el-button size="mini" @click="changePage(0)" round>Previous page</el-button>
      <span> {{currentPage}} / {{pageCount}} </span>
      <el-button size="mini" @click="changePage(1)" round>Next page</el-button>
</div>

Introduce components and define variables

// Import and reference in vue fileimport pdf from "vue-pdf";
export default {
	components: {
	    pdf,
	 },
	
	//Define variable	data(){
		return {
			pdfFile: "", //pdf file address	      	currentPage: 0, // Page number	      	pageCount: 0, // Total page count		}
	},
	methods:{
		// Turn page	    changePage (val) {
	      	if (val === 0 &&  > 1) {
	        	 --;
	      	}
	      	if (val === 1 &&  < ) {
	        	 ++;
	      	}
	    },
      	// When pdf is loading	    loadPdf () {
	      	 = 1 // Load the first page first when loading	    },
	}
}

vue-pdf implements pdf online preview

1. First install vue-pdf and enter the following code in the command line:

npm install --save vue-pdf

2. Page reference, new

<template>
    <div class="ins-submit-docs-content ins-submit-docs-pdf">
        <div v-if="loading" style="position: absolute; top: 40%; width: 100%;text-align: center;">
            <van-loading type="spinner" color="#fc8955" />
        </div>
        <van-empty description="Document loading failed" v-if="loadingError" />
            <pdf ref="morePDF" :src="src"></pdf>
    </div>
</template>
<script>
import Vue from 'vue';
import pdf from 'vue-pdf'
import { Loading } from 'vant';
(Loading);
 
export default {
    name : 'ins-docs-pdf',
    props : {
        src : {
            type : String,    //Default value, select value            default : ''
        }
    },
    data(){
        return {
            loading : true,    //loading            loadingError : false,    //Loading failed        }
    },
    watch : {
        src : {
            deep : true,
            immediate: true,
            handler(val){
                if(val){
                    (val)
                }
            }
        }
    },
    components: {
        pdf
    },
    methods:{
        //Calculate the total number of pdf page numbers        getPDFnums(url) {
             = true
            //let loadURL = (url)
            let loadURL = ({
                  url: url,//Your pdf address            })
 
            (pdf => {
                this.$set(this, '', )
                 = false
            }).catch(err => {
                 = false;
                 = true;
            })
        }
    }
}
</script>

3、When there are many pages on the PDF, the v-for loop is directly, directly display

<template>
    <div class="ins-submit-docs-content ins-submit-docs-pdf">
        <div v-if="loading" style="position: absolute; top: 40%; width: 100%;text-align: center;">
            <van-loading type="spinner" color="#fc8955" />
        </div>
        <van-empty description="Document loading failed" v-if="loadingError" />
        <pdf ref="morePDF" :src="src" :page="i" v-for="i in numPages" :key="i"></pdf>
    </div>
</template>
<script>
import Vue from 'vue';
import pdf from 'vue-pdf'
import { Loading } from 'vant';
(Loading);
 
export default {
    name : 'ins-docs-pdf',
    props : {
        src : {
            type : String,    //Default value, select value            default : ''
        }
    },
    data(){
        return {
            loading : true,    //loading            loadingError : false,    //Loading failed            numPages : 0,        
        }
    },
    watch : {
        src : {
            deep : true,
            immediate: true,
            handler(val){
                if(val){
                    (val)
                }
            }
        }
    },
    components: {
        pdf
    },
    methods:{
        //Calculate the total number of pdf page numbers        getPDFnums(url) {
             = true
            //let loadURL = (url)
            let loadURL = ({
                  url: url,//Your pdf address            })
 
            (pdf => {
                 = 
                this.$set(this, '', )
                 = false
            }).catch(err => {
                 = false;
                 = true;
            })
        }
    }
}
</script>

4. When the PDF is large, you will find that the PDF loads back very slowly and occasionally pops up;

At this time, the following code was used;PDF pagination display;

And solve the problem that Chinese is occasionally garbled when previewing PDF, and borrow CMapReaderFactory from VUE-PDF.

<template>
    <div class="ins-submit-docs-content ins-submit-docs-pdf">
        <div v-if="loading" style="position: absolute; top: 40%; width: 100%;text-align: center;">
            <van-loading type="spinner" color="#fc8955" />
        </div>
        <van-empty description="Document loading failed" v-if="loadingError" />
        <div v-show="numPages <= 50">
            <pdf ref="morePDF" :src="src" :page="i" v-for="i in numPages" :key="i"></pdf>
        </div>
        <div v-show="numPages > 50">
            <pdf ref="PDF" :src="src" :page="currentPage" @num-pages="numPages=$event" @loaded="loadPdfHandler"></pdf>
            <div class="ins-pdf-button-box">
                <span @="prePage">Previous page</span>
                <span>{{currentPage}}/{{numPages}}</span>
                <span @="nextPage">Next page</span>
            </div>
        </div>
    </div>
</template>
<script>
import Vue from 'vue';
import pdf from 'vue-pdf'
import CMapReaderFactory from 'vue-pdf/src/';
import { Loading } from 'vant';
(Loading);
 
export default {
    name : 'ins-docs-pdf',
    props : {
        src : {
            type : String,    //Default value, select value            default : ''
        }
    },
    data(){
        return {
            loading : true,    //loading            loadingError : false,    //Loading failed            numPages : 0,        //Pagination            currentPage : 1, //The current number of pages displayed        }
    },
    watch : {
        src : {
            deep : true,
            immediate: true,
            handler(val){
                if(val){
                    (val)
                }
            }
        }
    },
    components: {
        pdf
    },
    methods:{
        //Calculate the total number of pdf page numbers        getPDFnums(url) {
             = true
            //let loadURL = (url)
            let loadURL = ({
                  url: url,//Your pdf address                  CMapReaderFactory
            })
 
            (pdf => {
                 = 
                 = 1
                this.$set(this, '', )
                 = false
            }).catch(err => {
                 = false;
                 = true;
            })
        },
 
        // Previous page        prePage() {
            var page = 
            page = page > 1 ? page - 1 : 
             = page
        },
 
        // Next page        nextPage() {
            var page = 
            page = page <  ? page + 1 : 1
             = page
        },
 
        // Callback        loadPdfHandler(e) {
             = e
        }
    }
}
