Viewing PDF documents available in the FileExplorer control using PDF viewer control.
You can open a PDF document in the JavaScript PDF viewer control while clicking the PDF document from the FileExplorer control using its Select event. Include the following code snippet in the Select client-side event of the File Explorer control.
function OpenPdf(args) {
if (args.nodeType == "File") {
//provides the path of the PDF document.
var _filename = args.path + args.name[0];
//For PDF files
if (_filename.includes(".pdf")) {
// hide the Print and Download icon in the PDF Viewer
var items = ~ej.PdfViewer.ToolbarItems.PrintTools & ~ej.PdfViewer.ToolbarItems.DownloadTool;
//creating new browser window
var ws = window.open("", '_blank', "width=800,height=600,location=no,menubar=no,status=no,titilebar=no,resizable=no")
//Adding script and CSS files
ws.document.write('<!DOCTYPE html><html><head><title>PdfViewer</title><link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="../Content/ej/default-theme/ej.web.all.min.css"><script src="../scripts/jquery-2.1.4.min.js"><\/script><script src="../scripts/ej/ej.web.all.min.js"><\/script><\/head><body>');
//div to render PDF Viewer
ws.document.write('<div style="width:100%;min-height:570px"><div id="container"><\/div><\/div>')
//Initializes the PDF Viewer
ws.document.write("<script>$(function(){ $('#container').ejPdfViewer({ serviceUrl: '../api/PdfViewer', documentPath: '" + _filename + "', toolbarSettings: { toolbarItem:'" + items + "'}})})<\/script>")
ws.document.write('<\/body><\/html>');
ws.document.close();
}
}
