We use react-native-blob-util
to handle file system access in this package,
So you should install react-native-pdf and react-native-blob-util
The table below shows the supported versions of React Native and react-native-blob-util for different versions of
react-native-pdf
.
| React Native | 0.4x - 0.56 | 0.57 | 0.60+ | 0.62+ | 0.62+ | | ------------------------- | --------------- | ------- | -------- | -------- | -------- | | react-native-pdf | 4.x.x - 5.0.x | 5.0.9+ | 6.0.0+ | 6.2.0+ | 6.4.0+ | | react-native-blob-util | | | | | 0.13.7+ |
🚨 Expo: This package is not available in the Expo Go app. Learn how you can use this package in Custom Dev Clients via the out-of-tree Expo Config Plugin. Example:
with-pdf
.
Installation
# Using npm
npm install react-native-pdf react-native-blob-util --save
# or using yarn:
yarn add react-native-pdf react-native-blob-util
Then follow the instructions for your platform to link react-native-pdf into your project:
iOS installation
React Native 0.60 and above
Run pod install
in the ios
directory. Linking is not required in React Native 0.60 and above.
React Native 0.59 and below
react-native link react-native-blob-util

andReactNativeBlobUtil
- If running 0.62, also select
- In app
pch.h
add#include "winrt/RCTPdf.h"
- If running 0.62, also select
#include "winrt/ReactNativeBlobUtil.h"
- If running 0.62, also select
- In
App.cpp
addPackageProviders().Append(winrt::progress_view::ReactPackageProvider());
beforeInitializeComponent();
- If running RNW 0.62, also add
PackageProviders().Append(winrt::RCTPdf::ReactPackageProvider());
andPackageProviders().Append(winrt::ReactNativeBlobUtil::ReactPackageProvider());
- If running RNW 0.62, also add
Bundling PDFs with the app
To add a test.pdf
like in the example add:
<None Include="..\..\test.pdf">
<DeploymentContent>true</DeploymentContent>
</None>
in the app .vcxproj
file, before <None Include="packages.config" />
.
FAQ
Q1. After installation and running, I can not see the pdf file.
A1: maybe you forgot to excute react-native link
or it does not run correctly.
You can add it manually. For detail you can see the issue #24
and #2
Q2. When running, it shows 'Pdf' has no propType for native prop RCTPdf.acessibilityLabel of native type 'String'
A2. Your react-native version is too old, please upgrade it to 0.47.0+ see also #39
Q3. When I run the example app I get a white/gray screen / the loading bar isn't progressing .
A3. Check your uri, if you hit a pdf that is hosted on a http
you will need to do the following:
iOS:
add an exception for the server hosting the pdf in the ios info.plist
. Here is an example :
<key>NSAppTransportSecurity</key>
<dict>
<key>NSExceptionDomains</key>
<dict>
<key>yourserver.com</key>
<dict>
<!--Include to allow subdomains-->
<key>NSIncludesSubdomains</key>
<true/>
<!--Include to allow HTTP requests-->
<key>NSTemporaryExceptionAllowsInsecureHTTPLoads</key>
<true/>
<!--Include to specify minimum TLS version-->
<key>NSTemporaryExceptionMinimumTLSVersion</key>
<string>TLSv1.1</string>
</dict>
</dict>
</dict>
Android:
see here
Q4. why doesn't it work with react native expo?.
A4. Expo does not support native module. you can read more expo caveats here
Q5. Why can't I run the iOS example? 'Failed to build iOS project. We ran "xcodebuild" command but it exited with error code 65.'
A5. Run the following commands in the project folder (e.g. react-native-pdf/example
) to ensure that all dependencies are available:
yarn install (or npm install)
cd ios
pod install
cd ..
react-native run-ios

*) requires building React Native from source with this patch
Methods
Methods operate on a ref to the PDF element. You can get a ref with the following code:
return (
<Pdf
ref={(pdf) => { this.pdf = pdf; }}
source={source}
...
/>
);
setPage()
setPage(pageNumber)
Set the current page of the PDF component. pageNumber is a positive integer. If pageNumber > numberOfPages, current page is not changed.
Example:
this.pdf.setPage(42); // Display the answer to the Ultimate Question of Life, the Universe, and Everything
