PDF Viewer for SAPUI5 Application

[Former Member]

hi,

I am looking for a possibility to view pdf documents within the application.

anyone tried methods for this?

my first solution was sending generated blobs to src of an iframe, but incompatibilities

with scrolling was the result.

thanks for any suggestions.

Update:

- build ui5-pdfViewer with pdf.js

- seems to be best device(client) independent solution.

tested: mozilla firefox, internet explorer, chromium, ios safari

features:

- page selection with ui elements,

- zoom +/- (wheel and ui elements),

- pointer drag clipped page content when zoom>1

Is your ui5-pdfViewer publically available?

I've build a basic PDF-Control using pdf.js.

Can be found here: https://marketplace.ui5.de/controls/pdf

It is free.

Hi All !

This JS is working with manual zoom and scrolling. Actually i want to make it like as a smartphone touch screen zooming. How can i do that?

Thanks in advance ...

Hi ömer,

you want to catch touch and swipe events to make real exprience for zoom and drag? try to use jquery event plugins like: touchSwipe.

i used this one in the past for creating googlemaps style application with static images. it can help you too...

i will publish the full blog post for creating the pdf viewer in ui5 in the near future.. currently i'm busy in projects.

bye. Danilo

Hi Danilo,

what do you mean with "incompatibilities with scrolling"?

i tried to attach the iframe to the content (on ipad!) the iframe will not be scrollable.

if you try to (scroll)-swipe the pdf in the iframe, the whole application moves to the scroll direction.

on desktop everything works well.

Hi Danilo,

I'll try to check this...

Waht MVC structure do you have? App->Page->iView?

What properties has the page with iView?

Thanks Konstantin,

I used "m.Shell" with "m.SplitApp" and some xml based Master/Detail pages.

Hi Danilo,

had no time yet to check the issue.

Could you please check http://stackoverflow.com/questions/14183647/scrolling-iframe-on-ios-is-solved-but-the-iframe-page-di...

Looks like iframe is a common problem on ios.

Hi Konstantin,

nice jquery addon - but not really a solution for me. because the iframes content is "application/pdf" without any js-logic. standalone iframe works on ios devices,

but not embedded in splitapp.
