Installation

Install the latest version from pub.

Getting started

Import the following package.

import 'package:syncfusion_flutter_pdfviewer/pdfviewer.dart';

Add PDF Viewer to the widget tree

Add the SfPdfViewer widget as a child of any widget. Here, the SfPdfViewer widget is added as a child of the Container widget.

@override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
  return Scaffold(
      body: Container(
          child: SfPdfViewer.network(
              'https://cdn.syncfusion.com/content/PDFViewer/flutter-succinctly.pdf')));
}

Web integration

We have used PdfJs for rendering the PDF page as an image on the web platform, so the script file must be referred to in your web/index.html file.

On your web/index.html file, add the following script tags, somewhere in the body of the document:

<script src="//cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/pdf.js/2.4.456/pdf.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
   pdfjsLib.GlobalWorkerOptions.workerSrc = "//cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/pdf.js/2.4.456/pdf.worker.min.js";
</script>

Load encrypted PDF document

Encrypted or password-protected document can be loaded in the SfPdfViewer widget by specifying the password in password property.

@override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
  return Scaffold(
      body: Container(
          child: SfPdfViewer.network(
              'https://cdn.syncfusion.com/content/PDFViewer/encrypted.pdf',
              password: 'syncfusion')));
}

Customize the visibility of scroll head and scroll status

As a default, the SfPdfViewer displays the scroll head and scroll status. You can customize the visibility of these items using the canShowScrollHead and canShowScrollStatus properties.

@override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
  return Scaffold(
      body: Container(
          child: SfPdfViewer.network(
              'https://cdn.syncfusion.com/content/PDFViewer/flutter-succinctly.pdf',
              canShowScrollHead: false,
              canShowScrollStatus: false)));
}

Customize the visibility of page navigation dialog

As a default, the page navigation dialog will be displayed when the scroll head is tapped. You can customize the visibility of the page navigation dialog using the canShowPaginationDialog property.

@override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
  return Scaffold(
      body: Container(
          child: SfPdfViewer.network(
              'https://cdn.syncfusion.com/content/PDFViewer/flutter-succinctly.pdf',
              canShowPaginationDialog: false)));
}

Customize the visibility of password dialog

As a default, the password dialog will be displayed when a password-protected or encrypted document is loaded. You can customize the visibility of the password dialog using the canShowPasswordDialog property.

@override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
  return Scaffold(
      body: Container(
          child: SfPdfViewer.network(
              'https://cdn.syncfusion.com/content/PDFViewer/encrypted.pdf',
              canShowPasswordDialog: false)));
}

Change the page layout

Page layout modes describe how the PDF page is displayed. As a default, the page layout will be in continuous mode. You can change the page layout mode using the pageLayoutMode property.

@override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
  return Scaffold(
      body: Container(
          child: SfPdfViewer.network(
              'https://cdn.syncfusion.com/content/PDFViewer/flutter-succinctly.pdf', 
             pageLayoutMode: PdfPageLayoutMode.single)));
}

Switch scroll direction

Scrolling options describe how the PDF pages can be scrolled. As a default, the page will be scrolled in vertical direction. You can change the scroll direction using the scrollDirection property. In Single page layout mode, only horizontal scrolling is supported.

@override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
  return Scaffold(
      body: Container(
          child: SfPdfViewer.network(
              'https://cdn.syncfusion.com/content/PDFViewer/flutter-succinctly.pdf', 
             scrollDirection: PdfScrollDirection.horizontal)));
}

Enable or disable the double-tap zoom

As a default, the SfPdfViewer will be zoomed in and out when double-tapped. You can enable or disable the double-tap zoom using the enableDoubleTapZooming property.

@override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
  return Scaffold(
      body: Container(
          child: SfPdfViewer.network(
              'https://cdn.syncfusion.com/content/PDFViewer/flutter-succinctly.pdf',
              enableDoubleTapZooming: false)));
}

Change the zoom level factor

The content of the document can be zoomed in and out either by pinch and zoom or changing the zoom level factor programmatically. You can change or control the zoom level factor using the zoomLevel property. The zoom level factor value can be set between 1.0 and 3.0.

PdfViewerController _pdfViewerController;

@override
void initState() {
  _pdfViewerController = PdfViewerController();
  super.initState();
}

@override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
  return Scaffold(
    appBar: AppBar(
      title: Text('Syncfusion Flutter PdfViewer'),
      actions: <Widget>[
        IconButton(
          icon: Icon(
            Icons.zoom_in,
            color: Colors.white,
          ),
          onPressed: () {
            _pdfViewerController.zoomLevel = 2;
          },
        ),
      ],
    ),
    body: SfPdfViewer.network(
      'https://cdn.syncfusion.com/content/PDFViewer/flutter-succinctly.pdf',
      controller: _pdfViewerController,
    ),
  );
}

Navigate to the desired pages

The SfPdfViewer provides options to navigate to the desired pages using the following controller methods.

jumpToPage() - Navigates to the specified page number in a PDF document.
nextPage() - Navigates to the next page of a PDF document.
previousPage() - Navigates to the previous page of a PDF document.
firstPage() - Navigates to the first page of a PDF document.
lastPage() - Navigates to the last page of a PDF document.

PdfViewerController _pdfViewerController;

@override
void initState() {
  _pdfViewerController = PdfViewerController();
  super.initState();
}

@override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
  return Scaffold(
    appBar: AppBar(
      title: Text('Syncfusion Flutter PdfViewer'),
      actions: <Widget>[
        IconButton(
          icon: Icon(
            Icons.keyboard_arrow_up,
            color: Colors.white,
          ),
          onPressed: () {
            _pdfViewerController.previousPage();
          },
        ),
        IconButton(
          icon: Icon(
            Icons.keyboard_arrow_down,
            color: Colors.white,
          ),
          onPressed: () {
            _pdfViewerController.nextPage();
          },
        )
      ],
    ),
    body: SfPdfViewer.network(
      'https://cdn.syncfusion.com/content/PDFViewer/flutter-succinctly.pdf',
      controller: _pdfViewerController,
    ),
  );
}

Navigate to the desired bookmark topics

As a default, the SfPdfViewer provides a default bookmark view to navigate to the bookmarked topics. You can also navigate to the desired bookmark topic programmatically using the jumpToBookmark() controller method.

final GlobalKey<SfPdfViewerState> _pdfViewerKey = GlobalKey();

@override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
  return Scaffold(
    appBar: AppBar(
      title: Text('Syncfusion Flutter PdfViewer'),
      actions: <Widget>[
        IconButton(
          icon: Icon(
            Icons. bookmark,
            color: Colors.white,
          ),
          onPressed: () {
            _pdfViewerKey.currentState?.openBookmarkView();
          },
        ),
      ],
    ),
    body: SfPdfViewer.network(
      'https://cdn.syncfusion.com/content/PDFViewer/flutter-succinctly.pdf',
      key: _pdfViewerKey,
    ),
  );
}

Select and copy text

By default, the PDF Viewer provides selection support for text in a PDF document. You can enable or disable selection using the enableTextSelection property. Whenever selection is changed, an onTextSelectionChanged callback is triggered with global selection region and selected text details. Based on these details, a context menu can be shown and a copy of the text can be performed.

PdfViewerController _pdfViewerController;

@override
void initState() {
  _pdfViewerController = PdfViewerController();
  super.initState();
}

OverlayEntry _overlayEntry;
void _showContextMenu(BuildContext context,PdfTextSelectionChangedDetails details) {
  final OverlayState _overlayState = Overlay.of(context);
  _overlayEntry = OverlayEntry(
    builder: (context) => Positioned(
      top: details.globalSelectedRegion.center.dy - 55,
      left: details.globalSelectedRegion.bottomLeft.dx,
      child:
      RaisedButton(child: Text('Copy',style: TextStyle(fontSize: 17)),onPressed: (){
        Clipboard.setData(ClipboardData(text: details.selectedText));
        _pdfViewerController.clearSelection();
      },color: Colors.white,elevation: 10,),
    ),
  );
  _overlayState.insert(_overlayEntry);
}
@override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
  return Scaffold(
    appBar: AppBar(
      title: Text('Syncfusion Flutter PdfViewer'),
    ),
    body: SfPdfViewer.network(
      'https://cdn.syncfusion.com/content/PDFViewer/flutter-succinctly.pdf',
      onTextSelectionChanged:
          (PdfTextSelectionChangedDetails details) {
        if (details.selectedText == null && _overlayEntry != null) {
          _overlayEntry.remove();
          _overlayEntry = null;
        } else if (details.selectedText != null && _overlayEntry == null) {
          _showContextMenu(context, details);
        }
      },
      controller: _pdfViewerController,
    ),
  );
}

Search text and navigate to its occurrences

Text can be searched for in a PDF document and you can then navigate to all its occurrences. The navigation of searched text can be controlled using the nextInstance, previousInstance, and clear methods.

PdfViewerController _pdfViewerController;

@override
void initState() {
  _pdfViewerController = PdfViewerController();
  super.initState();
}
PdfTextSearchResult _searchResult;
@override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
  return Scaffold(
      appBar: AppBar(
        title: Text('Syncfusion Flutter PdfViewer'),
        actions: <Widget>[
          IconButton(
            icon: Icon(
              Icons.search,
              color: Colors.white,
            ),
            onPressed: () async {
              _searchResult = await _pdfViewerController?.searchText('the',
                  searchOption: TextSearchOption.caseSensitive);
              setState(() {});
            },
          ),
          Visibility(
            visible: _searchResult?.hasResult ?? false,
            child: IconButton(
              icon: Icon(
                Icons.clear,
                color: Colors.white,
              ),
              onPressed: () {
                setState(() {
                  _searchResult.clear();
                });
              },
            ),
          ),
          Visibility(
            visible: _searchResult?.hasResult ?? false,
            child: IconButton(
              icon: Icon(
                Icons.keyboard_arrow_up,
                color: Colors.white,
              ),
              onPressed: () {
                  _searchResult?.previousInstance();
              },
            ),
          ),
          Visibility(
            visible: _searchResult?.hasResult ?? false,
            child: IconButton(
              icon: Icon(
                Icons.keyboard_arrow_down,
                color: Colors.white,
              ),
              onPressed: () {
                _searchResult?.nextInstance();
              },
            ),
          ),
        ],
      ),
      body: SfPdfViewer.network(
          'https://cdn.syncfusion.com/content/PDFViewer/flutter-succinctly.pdf',
          controller:_pdfViewerController,
          searchTextHighlightColor: Colors.yellow));
}

Enable or disable the document link annotation

By default, the PDF Viewer will navigate to the document link annotation’s destination position when you tap on the document link annotation. You can enable or disable the navigation of document link annotation using the enableDocumentLinkAnnotation property.

@override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
  return Scaffold(
      body: Container(
          child: SfPdfViewer.network(
              'https://cdn.syncfusion.com/content/PDFViewer/flutter-succinctly.pdf',
              enableDocumentLinkAnnotation: false)));
}
