Thank you so much, now I at least know where to start from
Thank you so much. Your short lecture is a boost to the trajectory.

Indian Accent 10/10 video tutorial
want to add every page of pdf on different canvas
hi , i tried to follow step by step instruction but final i got a 0 width and 0 height canvas any idea what i should do? awesome video by theway , the simpliest ive seen for beginners in this matter.
very good instructions ... clear and precise.
I couldn't get beyond "Uncaught TypeError: pdfjsLib.getDocument(...).then is not a function" for pdfjsLib.getDocument('mydoc.pdf').then(doc => {}); Something with the promise syntax is incompatible with the current pdfjs I think. I did some more looking and Mozilla, who apparently created pdfjs, has a fully working demo you can take apart. It was last updated 10/2021.
I got pdfjs to work! But, be warned, the Mozilla demo is not something you can "take apart." It's interconnected in a zillion ways. The most you can do is "display:none" parts of it. Having said that, it would take one person less than a week to write a really helpful explanation of pdfjs for those of us wanting to use it. Why haven't they?
Hi, I have a question if my pdf contains 90pages then how to display all the pages can you please give me basic hint about this

@@User-10848-x welcome
Even after including the pdf.js cdn, it says that pdfjsLib is not defined. Any thoughts
same with me, for now, do you know the solution for this? if yes please, help me, thank you
Use the same version of script that he uses
Please do it with reactjs
Yes. Hathibelagal Productions, can you do the tutorial with ReactJS.
is there a way to edit the pdf file like adding dates or signatures for example??
Missing pdf exception error. It's not working
Does it download full pdf first if i want only one page
how to make that into responsive
alert("Thanks , Sir "); ☺☺☺☺
What to do if i want to render a online pdf files using its url ?
Hi Sir, Thanks for sharing the video. just a question why it is throwing error when tried to open in Chrome?
That's because Chrome blocks local AJAX requests and PDF.js loads your PDF file using an AJAX request. Easiest way to fix this is to use a local web server.
the explanation is good but on loading the page it automatically starts downloading the PDF file(s)
thanks, this tutorial helps me a lot, but I have questioned how we add progress bar before opening pdf file (if pdf file is large file size it takes time to open) .i can search for it but there is little information available on online with PDFJS not with pdfjsLib.how to resolve this problem?
Is this open source?
It's not working. Please share a demo folder link.
how to search on canvas?
I am getting error: Uncaught (in promise) TypeError: Cannot read property 'transform' of undefined
at e.beginDrawing (pdf.min.js:1)
at t.initializeGraphics (pdf.min.js:1)
at pdf.min.js:1
Does it render to the canvas as an image or text? - I'm looking for how to export rendered html to and separate file. Would that be possible?
It's all rendered as pixels on the canvas. PDF.js, however, does offer methods you can use to extract text.
Can we Fill or create the Forms in PDF files using this library or any other?
Hi, Does pdf.js provide a support so that we can use it as an API to convert PDF into HTML and then that HTML to JSON
This is good if you don't want to use chrome or don't expect your customers to use chrome. (It doesn't work with Chrome).
can we do it when on hover
