Open Image Files from a Blob Using JavaScript

Nutrient Web SDK in standalone mode accepts different input data types for a document: either as the document URL string, or as an ArrayBuffer containing the document file. Set it in the document property of the PSPDFKit.Configuration object passed to PSPDFKit.load(). If your source document is available as a Blob, you can obtain an object URL for it and pass it in document:

const documentBlobObjectUrl = URL.createObjectURL(blob);
PSPDFKit.load({
	document: documentBlobObjectUrl
})
	.then(instance => {
		// Make sure to revoke the object URL so the browser doesn't hold on to the blob object that's not needed any more.
		URL.revokeObjectURL(documentBlobObjectUrl);
	});

The Blob can contain a file in any of the different supported input formats.

It’s also possible to set the initial conditions of the viewer in the same configuration object by setting the initialViewState property. For example, if you want to open a document on page 8 with the thumbnails sidebar open, do it like this:

const documentBlobObjectUrl = URL.createObjectURL(blob);
PSPDFKit.load({
	document: documentBlobObjectUrl,
	initialViewState: new PSPDFKit.ViewState({
		pageIndex: 8,
		sidebarMode: PSPDFKit.SidebarMode.THUMBNAILS
	})
})
	.then(instance => {
		// Make sure to revoke the object URL so the browser doesn't hold on to the blob object that's not needed any more.
		URL.revokeObjectURL(documentBlobObjectUrl);
	});

PSPDFKit.load() also accepts different configuration options:

Example:

PSPDFKit.load({
  container,
  document: documentUrl,
  toolbarItems: PSPDFKit.defaultToolbarItems.filter(item => item.type !== "print"),
  initialViewState: new PSPDFKit.ViewState({
    sidebarMode: PSPDFKit.SidebarMode.THUMBNAILS
  })
})
