I'm displaying a pdf file with pdf.js in my Ionic App. I do not use viewer.js and viewer.html, because I need a totally different layout. Now I have a custom search bar and I want to highlight terms in my pdf file. Is there a function I can invoke to do this?
I'm rendering the file like this:
$scope.renderPages = function(pdfDoc) {
$scope.pdfFile = pdfDoc;
for(var num = 1; num <= pdfDoc.numPages; num++){
pdfDoc.getPage(num).then($scope.renderPage);
}
}
$scope.renderPage = function(page) {
var viewport = page.getViewport(1);
scale = document.getElementById('viewer').clientWidth / viewport.width;
viewport = page.getViewport(scale);
var canvas = document.createElement('canvas');
var ctx = canvas.getContext('2d');
var renderContext = {
canvasContext: ctx,
viewport: viewport
};
canvas.height = viewport.height;
canvas.width = viewport.width;
var canvasContainer = document.getElementById('viewer');
canvasContainer.appendChild(canvas);
page.render(renderContext);
}
HTML:
<div id="viewerContainer" style="padding-bottom: 100%; padding-top: 20px;">
<div id="viewer" class="viewer-styles">
</div>
</div>
Now I found the solution!
var container = document.getElementById('viewerContainer');
var viewer = document.getElementById('viewer');
var pdfViewer = new PDFViewer({
container: container,
viewer: viewer
});
$scope.pdfFindController = new PDFFindController({
pdfViewer: pdfViewer
);
pdfViewer.setFindController($scope.pdfFindController);
container.addEventListener('pagesinit', function () {
pdfViewer.currentScaleValue = 'page-width';
});
PDFJS.getDocument(MY_PATH_TO_THE_PDF).then(function (pdfDocument) {
pdfViewer.setDocument(pdfDocument);
});
Search for terms:
$scope.pdfFindController.executeCommand('find', {
caseSensitive: false,
findPrevious: undefined,
highlightAll: true,
phraseSearch: true,
query: "myQuery"
});
And I had to import the viewer.js.
The code that I posted in the question is not needed anymore. The PDFViewer renders the pdf.
