A react native PDF view component (cross-platform support)
- read a PDF from url/local file/asset and can cache it.
- display horizontally or vertically
- drag and zoom
- double tap for zoom
- support password protected pdf
We use rn-fetch-blob
to handle file system access in this package,
So you should install react-native-pdf and rn-fetch-blob
npm install rn-fetch-blob --save
npm install react-native-pdf --save
react-native link rn-fetch-blob
react-native link react-native-pdf
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 screen / the loading bar isn't progressing on IOS.
A3. Check your uri, if you hit a pdf that is hosted on a http
you will need to 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>
Q4. why doesn't it work with react native expo?.
A4. Expo does not support native module. you can read more expo caveats here
