Hello,

Is it possible to call a pdf viewer like pdfObject directly from Vaadin ?
I need to call PDFObject.js with my PDf File, but I don’t find how to do that.

Thanks in advanced for your help.

Hello,

Integrating Javascript onto Vaadin is not so difficult. Please check following simple and less simple samples :
https://vaadin.com/blog/-/blogs/vaadin-7-loves-javascript-components
https://vaadin.com/wiki/-/wiki/Main/Integrating+a+JavaScript+component

You could also go the lazy way and just open pdf file. Decent browser will render it with pdf.js or some plugin (acrobat or another) without any custom code on you side.

How can I call pdfObject ? I search either with word fil or nay other file but I don’t find.

If you need to force use of this JS library, you will have to create a custom component. The two links I provided you upper in this thread should help you to do so. That’s less work that it seems.

Some others “not-so elegant” ways, but much less vaadin-friendly :
