Vanilla

You can build a simple web app without using any frameworks at all. Just use plain old vanilla JS!

The examples/simple-viewer project shows how to create a simple document viewer that runs MuPDF.js in a Web Worker.

The Worker runs on a background thread to do the heavy lifting, and inserts rendered images and text in the DOM as pages scroll into view.

Getting Started

Once you have checked out the example from our Github repository then do the following:

Initialize the project

npm install

Start the server

To start the HTTP server and open your browser to the viewer:

npm start

Once opened in the browser use the File option in the UI to open a PDF file.
