Read View Preferences

This example shows how to read the initial view preferences specified in a PDF loaded into the viewer.

window.onload = async function () { //DsPdfViewer.LicenseKey = "***key***"; const viewer = new DsPdfViewer("#viewer"); viewer.addDefaultPanels(); viewer.onAfterOpen.register(async function () { const prefs = await viewer.viewerPreferences; let sBrief = ""; let sDetails = ""; for (const k in prefs) { const val = prefs[k]; if (!val) continue; sBrief += `${k}; `; if (k === "openAction" && val.dest) { const pageRef = val.dest[0]; const targetPageIndex = await viewer.resolvePageIndex(pageRef); sDetails += `${k}=${JSON.stringify(val)}, open page with index ${targetPageIndex}; `; } else { sDetails += `${k}=${(typeof val === "object" ? JSON.stringify(val) : val)}; `; } } if (!sBrief) viewer.showMessage("PDF does not have initial viewer preferences.", "", "info"); else viewer.showMessage("PDF has the following preferences: " + sBrief, sDetails, "info"); }); viewer.open("/document-solutions/javascript-pdf-viewer/demos/product-bundles/assets/pdf/show-viewer-preferences.pdf"); }
