React Native wrapper for PSPDFKit for iOS, Android & Windows UWP. (PDF SDK for React Native)

!PDF SDK for React Native

This wrapper requires a valid license of PSPDFKit. Licenses are per platform. You can request a trial license here.

This wrapper exposes the most often used APIs from PSPDFKit. Many of our partners end up forking this wrapper and adding some custom code to achieve even greater integration with their products, using native code.

Windows is not currently supported, please use the previous version 1.24.9 instead.

#### Requirements

- Xcode 11
- PSPDFKit 9.0.0 for iOS or later
- react-native >= 0.60.5
- CocoaPods >= 1.7.5

#### Getting Started

Let's create a simple app that integrates PSPDFKit and uses the react-native-pspdfkit module.

1. Make sure react-native-cli is installed: yarn global add react-native-cli
2. Create the app with react-native init YourApp.
3. Step into your newly created app folder: cd YourApp
4. Install react-native-pspdfkit from GitHub: yarn add github:PSPDFKit/react-native
5. Install all the dependencies for the project: yarn install. (Because of a bug you may need to clean yarn's cache with yarn cache clean before.)
6. Open ios/Podile in a text editor: open ios/Podfile, update the platform to iOS 11, and add your CocoaPods URL.

``diff
- platform :ios, '9.0'
+ platform :ios, '11.0'

use_native_modules!
end
`

7. cd ios then run pod install.
8. Open YourApp.xcworkspace in Xcode: open YourApp.xcworkspace.
9. Make sure the deployment target is set to 11.0 or higher:
!Deployment Target
10. Change "View controller-based status bar appearance" to YES in Info.plist:
!View Controller-Based Status Bar Appearance
11. If your application is targeting iOS versions prior to iOS 12.2 and your application does not already contain any Swift code, then you need to make sure Xcode bundles Swift standard libraries with your application distribution. To to so, open your target Build Settings and enable Always Embed Swift Standard Libraries:
!Always Embed Swift Standard Libraries
12. Add a PDF by drag and dropping it into your Xcode project (Select "Create groups" and add to target "YourApp"). This will add the document to the "Copy Bundle Resources" build phase:
!Adding PDF
13. Replace the default component from App.js with a simple touch area to present the bundled PDF. (Note that you can also use a Native UI Component to show a PDF.)

`javascript
import React, { Component } from "react";
import {
AppRegistry,
StyleSheet,
NativeModules,
Text,
TouchableHighlight,
View
} from "react-native";

const PSPDFKit = NativeModules.PSPDFKit;

PSPDFKit.setLicenseKey("INSERT_YOUR_LICENSE_KEY_HERE");

// Change 'YourApp' to your app's name.
export default class YourApp extends Component {
_onPressButton() {
PSPDFKit.present("document.pdf", {});
}

render() {
return (


Tap to Open Document


);
}
}

const styles = StyleSheet.create({
container: {
flex: 1,
justifyContent: "center",
alignItems: "center",
backgroundColor: "#F5FCFF"
},
text: {
fontSize: 20,
textAlign: "center",
margin: 10
}
});

// Change both 'YourApp's to your app's name.
AppRegistry.registerComponent("YourApp", () => YourApp);
`

Your app is now ready to launch. Run the app in Xcode or go back to the Terminal, then run cd .., and react-native run-ios.

There are 2 different ways on how to use the PSPDFKit React Native wrapper on iOS.

- Present a document via a Native Module modally.
- Show a PSPDFKit view via a Native UI component.

Depending on your needs you might want to use one or the other.

$3

Using the Native Module (PSPDFKit.present()), you can present a document with PSPDFKit modally in fullscreen.
You can specify the path to the document you want to present, and configuration options.

`javascript
import React, { Component } from "react";
import { NativeModules, Text, TouchableHighlight, View } from "react-native";

var PSPDFKit = NativeModules.PSPDFKit;
PSPDFKit.setLicenseKey("YOUR_LICENSE_KEY_GOES_HERE");

export default class App extends Component<{}> {
_onPressButton() {
PSPDFKit.present("document.pdf", {
pageTransition: "scrollContinuous",
scrollDirection: "vertical",
documentLabelEnabled: true
});
}

render() {
return (


Tap to Open Document


);
}
}
`

$3

With PSPDFKitView you can use PSPDFKit like any other React component in your app.
Using this approach, you have more flexibility over how a document is presented and displayed.

The layout is completely flexible, and can be adjust with flexbox.
Note that you still need to set your license key with the Native Module.

For all the props that you can pass to PSPDFKitView, have a look at the source documentation.

This is how you would show a PDF as a React component:

`javascript
import React, { Component } from "react";
import { NativeModules } from "react-native";
import PSPDFKitView from "react-native-pspdfkit";

var PSPDFKit = NativeModules.PSPDFKit;
PSPDFKit.setLicenseKey("YOUR_LICENSE_KEY_GOES_HERE");

export default class App extends Component<{}> {
render() {
return (
document={"document.pdf"}
configuration={{
pageTransition: "scrollContinuous",
scrollDirection: "vertical",
documentLabelEnabled: true
}}
style={{ flex: 1, color: "#267AD4" }}
/>
);
}
}
`

#### Configuration

You can configure the presentation with a configuration dictionary which is a mirror of the PSPDFConfiguration class.

Example - Native Module:

`javascript
PSPDFKit.present("document.pdf", {
thumbnailBarMode: "scrollable",
pageTransition: "scrollContinuous",
scrollDirection: "vertical"
});
`

Example - Native UI Component:

`javascript
document={"document.pdf"}
configuration={{
thumbnailBarMode: "scrollable",
pageTransition: "scrollContinuous",
scrollDirection: "vertical"
}}
/>
`

#### Running Catalog Project

- Copy PSPDFKit.xcframework and PSPDFKitUI.xcframework into the PSPDFKit directory.
- Install dependencies: yarn install in samples/Catalog directory. (Because of a bug you may need to clean yarn's cache with yarn cache clean before.)
- Run the app with react-native-cli: react-native run-ios
- If you get an error about config.h not being found check out this blog post for information on how to fix it.

#### Configuration Mapping

The PSPDFKit React Native iOS Wrapper maps most configuration options available in PSPDFConfiguration from JSON. Please refer to RCTConvert+PSPDFConfiguration.m for the complete list and for the exact naming of enum values.

Annotations are mapped based on their type name. This is case sensitive. For example, to limit annotation types to ink and highlight, use this:

`javascript
editableAnnotationTypes: ["Ink", "Highlight"];
`

#### Menu Item Mapping

The PSPDFKit React Native iOS Wrapper allows you to specify a custom grouping for the annotation creation toolbar. Please refer to RCTConvert+PSPDFAnnotationToolbarConfiguration.m for the complete list of menu items. To set them just specify the menuItemGrouping prop on the PSPDFKitView. The format used is as follows:

`javascript
[
menuItem,
{ key: menuItem, items: [subItem, subItem]},
...
]
`

#### Customize the Toolbar Buttons

You can customize the toolbar buttons on the Native UI View component by specifying the toolbar buttons using setLeftBarButtonItems and setRightBarButtonItems, like so:

`javascript
pdfView.setRightBarButtonItems(
["thumbnailsButtonItem", "searchButtonItem", "annotationButtonItem"],
"document",
false
);
`

Please refer to RCTConvert+UIBarButtonItem.m for the complete list of bar button items.

Also, please take a look at the ToolbarCustomization example from our Catalog app.

For a more detailed description of toolbar customizations, refer to our Customizing the Toolbar guide for iOS and Android.

#### Requirements

- Android SDK
- Android Build Tools 23.0.1 (React Native)
- Android Build Tools 28.0.3 (PSPDFKit module)
- Android Gradle plugin >= 3.4.1
- PSPDFKit >= 5.4.2
- react-native >= 0.60.4

#### Getting Started

Let's create a simple app that integrates PSPDFKit and uses the react-native-pspdfkit module.

1. Make sure react-native-cli is installed: yarn global add react-native-cli
2. Create the app with react-native init YourApp.
3. Step into your newly created app folder: cd YourApp.
4. Add react-native-pspdfkit module from GitHub: yarn add github:PSPDFKit/react-native.
5. Install all the dependencies for the project: yarn install. (Because of a bug you may need to clean yarn's cache with yarn cache clean before.)
6. Add PSPDFKit repository to YourApp/android/build.gradle so PSPDFKit library can be downloaded:

`diff
allprojects {
repositories {
mavenLocal()
+ maven {
+ url 'https://customers.pspdfkit.com/maven/'
+ credentials {
+ username 'pspdfkit'
+ password 'YOUR_MAVEN_KEY_GOES_HERE'
+ }
+ }
maven {
// All of React Native (JS, Obj-C sources, Android binaries) is installed from npm
url "$rootDir/../node_modules/react-native/android"
}
maven {
// Android JSC is installed from npm
url("$rootDir/../node_modules/jsc-android/dist")
}

google()
jcenter()
}
}
`

7. PSPDFKit targets modern platforms, so you'll have to set the minSdkVersion to 19. In YourApp/android/build.gradle:

`diff
...
buildscript {
ext {
buildToolsVersion = "28.0.3"
- minSdkVersion = 16
+ minSdkVersion = 19
compileSdkVersion = 28
targetSdkVersion = 28
supportLibVersion = "28.0.0"
...
`

8. We will also need to enable MultiDex support. In YourApp/android/app/build.gradle:

`diff
...
defaultConfig {
applicationId "com.yourapp"
minSdkVersion rootProject.ext.minSdkVersion
targetSdkVersion rootProject.ext.targetSdkVersion
versionCode 1
versionName "1.0"
+ multiDexEnabled true
}
...
`

9. Enter your PSPDFKit license key into YourApp/android/app/src/main/AndroidManifest.xml file:

`diff

...

+ + android:name="pspdfkit_license_key"
+ android:value="YOUR_LICENSE_KEY_GOES_HERE"/>


`

10. Set primary color. In YourApp/android/app/src/main/res/values/styles.xml replace

`xml

`

with

`xml
#3C97C9
`

11. Replace the default component from YourApp/App.js with a simple touch area to present a PDF document from the local device filesystem:

`javascript
import React, { Component } from "react";
import {
StyleSheet,
NativeModules,
Text,
TouchableOpacity,
View,
PermissionsAndroid
} from "react-native";

var PSPDFKit = NativeModules.PSPDFKit;

const DOCUMENT = "file:///sdcard/document.pdf";
const CONFIGURATION = {
scrollContinuously: false,
showPageNumberOverlay: true,
pageScrollDirection: "vertical"
};

// Change 'YourApp' to your app's name.
export default class YourApp extends Component<{}> {
_onPressButton() {
requestExternalStoragePermission();
}

render() {
return (

{PSPDFKit.versionString}

Tap to Open Document


);
}
}

async function requestExternalStoragePermission() {
try {
const granted = await PermissionsAndroid.request(
PermissionsAndroid.PERMISSIONS.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE
);
if (granted === PermissionsAndroid.RESULTS.GRANTED) {
console.log("Write external storage permission granted");
PSPDFKit.present(DOCUMENT, CONFIGURATION);
} else {
console.log("Write external storage permission denied");
}
} catch (err) {
console.warn(err);
}
}

const styles = StyleSheet.create({
container: {
flex: 1,
justifyContent: "center",
alignItems: "center",
backgroundColor: "#F5FCFF"
},
text: {
fontSize: 20,
textAlign: "center",
margin: 10
}
});
`

12. Before launching the app you need to copy a PDF document onto your development device or emulator.

`bash
adb push /path/to/your/document.pdf /sdcard/document.pdf
`

13. Your app is now ready to launch. From YourApp directory run react-native run-android.

`bash
react-native run-android
`

#### Running Catalog Project

1. Clone the repository. git clone https://github.com/PSPDFKit/react-native.git.
2. Install dependencies: run yarn install from samples/Catalog directory. (Because of a bug you may need to clean yarn's cache with yarn cache clean before.)
3. Add your customer portal password to samples/Catalog/android/build.gradle:

`groovy
maven {
url 'https://customers.pspdfkit.com/maven/'

credentials {
username 'pspdfkit'
password 'YOUR_MAVEN_PASSWORD_GOES_HERE'
}
}
`

4. Update license key in samples/Catalog/android/app/src/main/AndroidManifest.xml:

`xml

...

android:name="pspdfkit_license_key"
android:value="YOUR_LICENSE_KEY_GOES_HERE"/>


`

5. Catalog app is now ready to launch. From samples/Catalog directory run react-native run-android.

#### Running the Native Catalog

Take a look at the instructions to get started here.

#### Configuration

##### Upload PDF to device

To copy a pdf document to your local device storage:

`bash
adb push "document.pdf" "/sdcard/document.pdf"
`

##### Bundle PDF inside the APK's assets

To bundle a pdf document in the Android app, simply copy it the Android assets folder, for the Catalog app is samples/PDFs.

##### Viewer options

You can configure the builder with a dictionary representation of the PSPDFConfiguration object. Check ConfigurationAdapter.java for all the parameters available.

`javascript
const CONFIGURATION = {
startPage: 3,
scrollContinuously: false,
showPageNumberOverlay: true,
grayScale: true,
showPageLabels: false,
pageScrollDirection: "vertical"
};
`

#### Native UI Component

Just like on iOS we also support integrating PSPDFKit directly into the react-native view hierarchy. There are a few thing you need to consider when using this approach:

- Your activity hosting the react component needs to extend from ReactFragmentActivity.
- Because of issues in react-native our PdfView needs to call layout and dispatchOnGlobalLayout on every frame, this might negatively affect your apps performance or even cause it to misbehave.
- PSPDFKitView doesn't yet support all the features (outline, bookmarks, thubmnail grid, view settings) using PSPDFKit.present provides.

##### Menu Item Mapping

The PSPDFKit React Native Android Wrapper allows you to specify a custom grouping for the annotation creation toolbar. Please refer to ReactGroupingRule.java for the complete list of menu items. To set them just specify the menuItemGrouping prop on the PSPDFKitView. The format used is as follows:

`
[
menuItem,
{ key: menuItem, items: [subItem, subItem]},
...
]
`

#### Update

Upgrading yarn's lock file is required in order to update react-native-pspdfkit module in a project that has been already setup following the steps in Getting Started section.
From root project folder (e.g.YourApp for upgrading example project) launch yarn upgrade.

##### Migrate from PSPDFKit version 2.9.x to 3.0.0

After launching yarn upgrade, apply step 7, step 10 and step 12 from Getting Started section.
Enable MultiDex in YourApp/android/app/build.gradle (note one place to edit):

`diff
...
android {
compileSdkVersion 25
buildToolsVersion "25.0.2"

defaultConfig {
applicationId "com.yourapp"
+ multiDexEnabled true
minSdkVersion 16
targetSdkVersion 25
versionCode 1
versionName "1.0"
ndk {
abiFilters "armeabi-v7a", "x86"
}
}
...
`

Remove pspdfkit-lib folder in YourApp/android/.
In YourApp/android/settings.gradle remove the old reference to pspdfkit-lib (note one place to edit):

`diff
project(':react-native-pspdfkit').projectDir = new File(rootProject.projectDir, '../node_modules/react-native-pspdfkit/android')
include ':app'
-include ':pspdfkit-lib'
`

##### Migrate from PSPDFKit version 3.3.3 to 4.0.x

After launching yarn upgrade, apply step 6, step 8 and step 10 from Getting Started section.
Enable MultiDex in YourApp/android/app/build.gradle (note four place to edit):

`diff
...
android {
- compileSdkVersion 25
+ compileSdkVersion 26
- buildToolsVersion "25.0.2"
+ buildToolsVersion "26.0.1"

defaultConfig {
applicationId "com.yourapp"
multiDexEnabled true
- minSdkVersion 16
+ minSdkVersion 19
- targetSdkVersion 25
+ targetSdkVersion 26
versionCode 1
versionName "1.0"
ndk {
abiFilters "armeabi-v7a", "x86"
}
}
...
`

#### API

##### Constants

The following constants are available on the PSPDFKit export:

- versionString (String) PSPDFKit version number.

##### present(document : string, configuration : readable map) : void

Shows the pdf document from the local device filesystem, or your app's assets.

- file:///sdcard/document.pdf will open the document from local device filesystem.
- file:///android_asset/document.pdf will open the document from your app's assets.

configuration can be empty {}.
