I had something similar happen to me. The challenge was that if you use fork() the application path changes. So I would recommend that you check __dirname in all of your files especially the ones in your forked process (e. g. app.js). I wouldn't be surprised if some of them don't make sense anymore.

For anyone interested in support of PDF viewer in election version 3.1.7 use the mentioned plugin above. To use PDF navigation in URL, to navigate using file:pathofyour.pdf#page=pagenumber just uncomment the content in isPDF() function and replace it with resolve(true)

Electron is a great way to develope cross platform applications but the api is not really mature and is alternated a way to often with every major release in my opinion

QUESTION

Rendering PDF with no frame in Node.js (Electron app)

Asked 2018-Dec-30 at 05:48

I'm in the process of writing an app in Electron. The app requires there to be a pdf rendered in a frame that takes up approximately 50% of the window. Because of the somewhat restricted space, I would like a solution that allows me to render a PDF without any frame, margin or controls bar around it. In macOS native apps, you have access to PDFView, which is a PDF renderer with nothing around it. I'm trying to find the closest thing to this, but for Node.js/Electron.

Before this gets marked as duplicate, I've read through a number of "Rendering PDF's in electron" posts on here. All of them pointed towards a number of libraries, notably "electron-pdf-window". The problem with the library is that all it does is wrap up "PDF.js". I've looked through PDF.js as well as the examples, but it also has the chrome-style frame and controls.

Are there any libraries/implementations of a PDF viewer for Node.js/Electron that provide a near-native (macOS) experience, in a "frameless" window? It needs to have copy/paste support, as well as support for trackpad gestures. Additionally, it should be able to support documents of at least a hundred pages.

Side question - Are you able to modify the default Chrome PDF viewer? (i.e remove the top "controls" bar, as well as trim down all the margins)? This seems like the fastest (most efficient) way to do it, but I'm not sure if it's possible.

After some research and testing, I've found that you can make a very minimal version of PDF.js. The "pinch-to-zoom" functionality isn't as smooth as on a native app, but you can get fairly close if you use PDF.js' experimental SVG renderer.

Here are some examples of a full PDF viewer with no toolbar: https://github.com/mozilla/pdf.js/tree/master/examples/components

If you're using the latest Electron 1.8 or newer, it has built in PDF support in BrowserWindow's and tags. You just have to ensure plugins are enabled:

Base on this readme, https://github.com/electron/electron/blob/master/docs/api/browser-window.md

you can do it something like

win.loadURL(`file://${__dirname}/app/index.html`)

but you have to put this inside app.on('ready', function() {} to avoid getting the Cannot create BrowserWindow before app is ready error.

Reason why that error appears Because the app is not yet ready and is still loading
