Embedding a PDF into a web page using JavaScript and HTML typically involves fetching the PDF data as a binary object and then rendering it within an HTML element, often an <iframe> or a <canvas> with the help of JavaScript or a library like PDF.js.
Method 1: Using an <iframe>
This method involves fetching the PDF as an arrayBuffer and then creating an object URL to set the src of the <iframe>.
Method 2: Using PDF.js and a <canvas>
This method provides more control over the PDF rendering and allows for features like page navigation, zooming, and text selection, but requires integrating the PDF.js library.
The script is very easy to understand and customize. Just download the zipped folder containing the files and upload to your server. You can then view the index.html, embed-pdf-js.html and object-pdf.html individually to test the different methods
To see the script in action, simply click on the Live Demo button below and download the script if you like what you see.
