Adobe PDF Embed seems to always reload the pdf instead of just navigating to the correct page (as changing the page number within the iframe does). Is there a way around this?
Code being used: previewFilePromise.then(adobeViewer => {
adobeViewer.getAPIs().then(apis => {
apis.gotoLocation(n)
.then(() => console.log("Success"))
.catch(error => console.log(error));
});
});
I haven't seen that behavior but I'm approaching the problem a bit differently. I get the APIs only once and then reuse the object as shown below. A link to a functioning example is after the code snippet.
var viewerAPI = null;
function showPDF(urlToPDF) {
var adobeDCView = new AdobeDC.View({
clientId: clientId,
divId: "embeddedView"
});
previewFilePromise = adobeDCView.previewFile(
{
content: { promise: fetchPDF(urlToPDF) },
metaData: { fileName: urlToPDF.split("/").slice(-1)[0] }
},
viewerOptions
);
previewFilePromise.then((adobeViewer) => {
adobeViewer.getAPIs().then((apis) => {
viewerAPI = apis;
});
});
}
function goToPage(pageNum) {
viewerAPI.gotoLocation(parseInt(pageNum));
}
