This is what the PDF frame looks like with the Islandora PDF.js viewer enabled.

Configuration

Currently the PDF.js viewer can be used as the viewer for the PDF Solution Pack, Book Solution Pack, Newspaper Solution Pack and Scholar.

PDF Solution Pack

• Administration » Islandora » Solution pack configuration » PDF Solution Pack (admin/islandora/solution_pack_config/pdf).

Scholar Solution Pack

• Administration » Islandora » Solution pack configuration » Scholar (admin/islandora/solution_pack_config/scholar).

Book Solution Pack

The PDF.js viewer can be used both as the book viewer and as the page viewer.

• Administration » Islandora » Solution pack configuration » Book Solution Pack (admin/islandora/solution_pack_config/book).

Newspaper Solution Pack

• Administration » Islandora » Solution pack configuration » Newspapers (admin/islandora/solution_pack_config/newspaper).

The pdf.js Reader will work as the default viewer for newspapers only if each issue object has a PDF datastream. Otherwise, you may get an error message.

Troubleshooting/Issues

• Ensure that the PDF.js library is installed in /sites/all/libraries/pdfjs and the Drupal Libraries module is installed and enabled
• If enabled as the default viewer for the Book Solution Pack, you need to ensure that there is a PDF datastream in the Book object.
  • You can upload your own PDF file or have Islandora create it for you at the time of ingest or post ingest.
