embedding PDFs about pdfjs HOT 12 CLOSED

Hi, I've this requirement, too. However it is not possible, yet. I am currently working on major improvements and this feature is on my list. But I've no ETA.

Thanks for your reply. It would be a great and valued addition as at this time I cannot find a solution.

@jsNifty Do you want to add whole sides from an existing PDF file, or embed PDFs like images?

from pdfjs.

It would be excellent to be able to insert PDFs like you would insert images. There could be more than one PDF to embed in any one document.

I've implemented this feature in the current dev branch. However, this branch is highly unstable. After some cleanup and further testing in the next couple of days, I'll provide a test snippet for PDF embedding.

This is excellent! I look forward to working with this feature in the near future.
Thanks!!

Would you mind testing the PDF embedding?

You'll have to use the dev branch. Example snippet:

var pdfjs = require('./')
var path = require('path')
var fs = require('fs')

var regular = pdfjs.createTTFFont(
  fs.readFileSync(path.join(__dirname, 'test/fixtures/font/opensans/regular.ttf' ))
)

var doc = pdfjs.createDocument({
  font: regular
})

var img = pdfjs.createImage(
  fs.readFileSync(path.join(__dirname, 'logo/pdfjs.pdf' ))
)
doc.image(img)

var pdf = doc.render()
fs.writeFileSync(path.join(__dirname, 'pdf.pdf'), pdf.toString(), 'binary')

It is quite likely that you'll get an error. If so, I would highly appreciate if you could send me the PDF that fails.

Thanks

Hi rkusa

I will give this ago over the next day or two and let you know if there are any issues. Sorry for getting back to you so late.

Hi rkusa

I have tried embedding a simple PDF file and this has not worked. Can I direct mail you with the PDF somehow as it is not something I would like on the issues page.

from pdfjs.

Sure: address removed
Thanks

Just another question with relation to the now available feature to embed PDFs. Is it now possible to embed a PDF as a background like you would an Image?

from pdfjs.

Yes, e.g., as a background for every page:

var header = doc.header()

header.image(img, {
          wrap: false,
          x: 0, y: 0,
          width: img.info.width,
          height: img.info.height
        })

Maybe, I'll add a simpler API in the future.
