files_pdfviewer

This application integrates the PDF.js library into Nextcloud's Viewer. You can view PDF files as well as Adobe Illustrator files (.ai)

Enable Javascript execution in PDF files

To allow Javascript embedded in PDF-files to be executed inside the PDF-viewer inside your browser, enable it with:

php occ config:app:set files_pdfviewer enable_scripting --value=yes

Disable:

php occ config:app:delete files_pdfviewer enable_scripting

🧙 Advanced development stuff

To build the Javascript whenever you make changes, you can also use npm run build. Or npm run watch to automatically rebuild on every file save.

You run all tests by using make test.

📦 Update pdf.js

When a new release of pdf.js is available on https://github.com/mozilla/pdf.js/releases, update the version number on https://github.com/nextcloud/files_pdfviewer/blob/master/pdfjs-get.js#L8 and compile the app again.
