I am new to react and I need to create a react component to open a pdf file. The pdf document will be opened through a link. I did some research and checked some posts on stackoverflow. e.g Create PDF file from HTML text React But this one converts from html to pdf and what i need to do is just open a pdf document.

Is there any article or posts online that could help me? Any help is appreciated

  • React has nothing to do with opening files. Search for the same thing without the "react" keyword and display the result in whatever
    your React code renders.

If the url of the pdf is not "cross-origin" you could use the "PDFJS" library to render the PDF in the browser.
