I want to display a pdf file generated in an image folder and display it in my app. I'm using pdf.js and importing pdfjs-dist for this purpose. So far I have been able to get the workers working and configured the webpack to load file. But I get an error with file path. No matter how I try to write the file path, I'm getting an error. I'm stuck trying to figure this out. How do I get the pdf to render?



import React, Component from "react";
import pdfjsLib from 'pdfjs-dist';
import pdfPath from '../../../../static/dist/assets/images/sampleStuff.pdf';
import ReactDOM from "react-dom";

pdfjsLib.GlobalWorkerOptions.workerSrc = '../../../../static/dist/pdf.worker.bundle.js';

class Samplepdf extends Component {

state =
file: pdfPath


componentDidMount()
const canvas = ReactDOM.findDOMNode(this.refs.myCanvas);
const ctx = canvas.getContext("2d")
const img = this.refs.image


img.onload = () =>
ctx.drawImage(img, 0, 0)
ctx.font = "20px Courier"
ctx.fillText(this.props.text, 210, 75)


render()

var loadingTask = pdfjsLib.getDocument(pdfPath);

return (
<div>
<canvas ref="myCanvas" width=640 height=425 />
<img ref="image" src= this.state.file className="hidden" />
</div>
)




webpack:



module.exports = 
mode: "development",
entry:
'main': './client/reactApp/index.js',
'pdf.worker': 'pdfjs-dist/build/pdf.worker.entry'
,
output:
path: path.resolve(__dirname, "static/dist"),
filename: "[name].bundle.js"
,
watch: true,
module:
rules: [
png,
bower_components)/,
use:
loader: 'babel-loader',
options:
presets: ['@babel/preset-env', "@babel/preset-react"],
plugins: [
['@babel/plugin-proposal-object-rest-spread'],['@babel/plugin-proposal-class-properties']
]


,

test: /.css$/,
use: ["style-loader", "css-loader"]

]

  • You must configure the server running on localhost:5000 to look in the proper directory. The question is tagged reactjs, but react does not serve static files. You have to use some kind of web server to do that.

  • That's exactly what it is not doing. ` import pdfPath from '../../../../static/dist/assets/images/sample.pdf';` i have tried to change the file path. But the server is looking for the files in localhost:5000/assets/images/samplestuff.pdf

  • In your code you are importing a file called sample.pdf, but the error message you have included, there's a file called sampleStuff.pdf.

  • Sorry that was a typo. Despite giving the right file name, get the same error.
