Is there a way to open a pdf with expo not using Ejecting?
You could use PDF.js in a WebView or you could polyfill the renderer underneath it to render with Expo.GLView
.
If I could import pdfjs on my app… having some troubles with zlib
I want to show a pdf from file-storage (without detaching).
With PDFjs it’s not possible due to zlib. @nikki, how can i do it with GLView ?
I found a way using WebBrowser, on iOS you have a direct PDF reader and on android just prefix your PDF url with this: ‘https://drive.google.com/viewerng/viewer?embedded=true&url={your pdf url}’
Hi,
Another solution I working on to display PDF with pdf.js and in a WebView:
Will this work with files saved locally using expo’s FileSystem ?
Yes it is
I get “file props is required” alert:
<PdfReader file={this.props.uri} />
this.props.uri contains this value: “file:///Users/…/pdfs/25.pdf”.
Any ideas?
Thanks for making this, can you tell me what I’m doing wrong? I’m also happy to dig in and help troubleshoot
Hi @jogillesp,
Sorry I changed the API: https://github.com/xcarpentier/rn-pdf-reader-js#props
And add a check when uri include ‘file’.
Hi x
I am trying to make use of the a file in assets, is this possible and what would be the syntax for this. So far I am getting an alert saying “source props is not correct”.
Thanks in advance.

Hi, should be fixed in latest lib version v0.2.1!
@xcarpentier just tested out, it works just fine with the last Expo (no errors)…thank you so much!
