Adobe PDF viewer

JavaScript
1

I have tried to replicate PDF viewer but did not find any resource to see functional Adobe PDf Viewer.

Need help how to work my enclosed HTML and Javascript code using a PDF file.

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en" >

<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8" />
<title>Adobe PDF Viewer</title>
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://adobe.com/scripts/pdf.library.js"></script>
  
<link rel="stylesheet" href="./style.css" />

<!-- https://www.adobe.com/devnet/pdf/library.html -->  
</head>

<body>

  <h1>Embedding a PDF using Adobe PDF library: Open PDF within browser</h1>

<div id="pdf">It appears you don't have Adobe Reader or PDF support in this web browser. <a href="http://www.example.com/mypdffile.pdf">Click here to download the PDF</a></div>

<script  src="./script.js"></script>

Sorry, but I’m confused about what you’re asking. Particularly the term “replicate”.

Anyway, the URL for the script src is giving me a not found, http://adobe.com/scripts/pdf.library.js
Are you sure that’s the correct URL?

I have not done the correct HTML or even correct path to PDF. It is Javascript issue and seek working example for Adobe embedded in browser. So, I tried to do on my own idea how to solve Adobe library which is just an example. Maybe you have a better example. Thank you for any information.

AFAIK you don’t have to do anything then – either your browser supports displaying PDF or it does not. For example:

$ chromium mypdffile.pdf
$ firefox mypdffile.pdf

If you want to display a PDF in your web page programmatically you might have a look at pdf.js (by mozilla though, not adobe)… or you can simply try embedding a PDF using an iframe:

<iframe src="http://www.example.com/mypdffile.pdf"></iframe>
