streamlit-pdf-viewer 0.0.5

Streamlit component for PDF visualisation and manipulation

streamlit-pdf-viewer

Component allowing the visualisation and manipulation of PDF documents in streamlit

Work in progress

We are early in the development, looking for contributors. Currently, it has been tested on Chrome and Firefox.

You can see an application in action here.

Getting started

pip install streamlit-pdf-viewer

In your streamlit application, you can use it as:

import streamlit as st
from streamlit_pdf_viewer import pdf_viewer

pdf_viewer("str, path or bytes")

Options

Params

In the following table the list of parameters that can be provided to the pdf_viewer function:

name	description
input	The source of the PDF file. Accepts a file path, URL, or binary data.
width	Width of the PDF viewer in pixels. It defaults to 700 pixels.
height	Height of the PDF viewer in pixels. If not provided, the viewer shows the whole content.
annotations	A list of annotations to be overlaid on the PDF. Each annotation should be a dictionary.
pages_vertical_spacing	The vertical space (in pixels) between each page of the PDF. Defaults to 2 pixels.
annotation_outline_size	Size of the outline around each annotation in pixels. Defaults to 1 pixel.
rendering	Type of rendering. The default value "unwrap", which unwraps the PDF with pdf.js, and supports the visualisation of annotations. Other values are "legacy_iframe" and "legacy_embed" which use the legacy approach of injecting the document into an <embed> or <iframe>. These methods enable the default pdf viewer of Firefox/Chrome/Edge that contains additional features we are still working to implement for the "unwrap" method. NOTE: Annotations are ignored for both 'legacy_iframe' and 'legacy_embed'.

Developers notes

Environment

• Python >= 3.8
• Node.js >= 16
• Streamlit 1.28.2

Configure environment for development

First, make sure that _RELEASE = False in streamlit_pdf_viewer/__init__.py. To run the component in development mode, use the following commands:

streamlit run my_component/__init__.py

cd frontend
npm run serve

These commands will start the Streamlit application and serve the Node.js component. Please make sure you're in the correct directory before running these commands.

Integrate into a streamlit application

1. Build the frontend part:

   cd frontend
   export NODE_OPTIONS=--openssl-legacy-provider
   npm run build 
   

2. Make sure that _RELEASE = True in streamlit_pdf_viewer/__init__.py.

3. move to the streamlit_application and run

   pip install -e {path of component}
