A a render prop component wrapper around pdf.js that asynchronously converts PDF files into data URLs in the browser.

Example Usage

``import React from 'react'; import {PDFtoIMG} from 'react-pdf-to-image'; import file from './pdf-sample.pdf';

const App = () =>


        
            {({pages}) => {
                if (!pages.length) return 'Loading...';
                return pages.map((page, index)=>
                    
                );
            }}

export default App;

`Issues`


- Relies on the pdf.js distribution from Mozilla which uses a web worker. Currently in order to get this working in webpack development mode you must add

globalObject: 'this' to the output` options in webpack.config.js. If you're using create-react-app then currently the only option is to eject and add that to your config. Otherwise builds will work fine but webpack-dev-server will not.

- Not optimized for loading very large multi-page PDFs and works best when used to convert simple single page documents to Image URLs

- POC atm so there's no tests or error handling.
