Usage

Here’s an example of how to use React PDF to display a PDF document in your application:
pdf-viewer.tsx
import { useState } from 'react';
import { Document, Page, pdfjs } from 'react-pdf';

// Configure PDF.js worker
pdfjs.GlobalWorkerOptions.workerSrc = `//unpkg.com/pdfjs-dist@${pdfjs.version}/build/pdf.worker.min.js`;

function PDFViewer({ url }) {
  const [numPages, setNumPages] = useState(null);
  const [pageNumber, setPageNumber] = useState(1);

  function onDocumentLoadSuccess({ numPages }) {
    setNumPages(numPages);
  }

  return (
    <div className="pdf-viewer">
      <Document
        file={url}
        onLoadSuccess={onDocumentLoadSuccess}
      >
        <Page pageNumber={pageNumber} />
      </Document>
      <div className="controls">
        <p>
          Page {pageNumber} of {numPages}
        </p>
        <button
          disabled={pageNumber <= 1}
          onClick={() => setPageNumber(pageNumber - 1)}
        >
          Previous
        </button>
        <button
          disabled={pageNumber >= numPages}
          onClick={() => setPageNumber(pageNumber + 1)}
        >
          Next
        </button>
      </div>
    </div>
  );
}
