// Minimal PDF rendering and text-selection example using PDF.js by Vivin Suresh Paliath (http://vivin.net) // This example uses a built version of PDF.js that contains all modules that it requires. // // The problem with understanding text selection was that the text selection code has heavily intertwined // with viewer.html and viewer.js. I have extracted the parts I need out of viewer.js into a separate file // which contains the bare minimum required to implement text selection. The key component is TextLayerBuilder, // which is the object that handles the creation of text-selection divs. I have added this code as an external // resource. // // This demo uses a PDF that only has one page. You can render other pages if you wish, but the focus here is // just to show you how you can render a PDF with text selection. Hence the code only loads up one page. // // The CSS used here is also very important since it sets up the CSS for the text layer divs overlays that // you actually end up selecting. window.onload = function () { var scale = 1.5; //Set this to whatever you want. This is basically the "zoom" factor for the PDF.
