Patch Changes

  • Publish from GitHub Actions with provenance. The library’s code and API are unchanged.

1.0.0 (2026-10-19)

First stable release of PdfViewer, an accessible, themeable React PDF viewer built on pdfjs-dist. From this release on, the public API (components, hooks, props, PdfViewerApi, labels, CSS classes and CSS variables) follows semantic versioning.

  • Loads URLs, URL objects, ArrayBuffer, Uint8Array, Blob and File sources, with custom fetch options, a replaceable fetcher, HTTP error hooks and typed PdfViewerErrors with retry. See Document sources.
  • Controlled or uncontrolled page, scale, rotation and fullscreen (x / defaultX / onXChange), plus an imperative PdfViewerApi through ref. See Controlled state.
  • Cancellable, HiDPI, pixel-capped rendering that respects each page’s intrinsic rotation. Memory stays flat in long documents: pages and thumbnails far from view release their canvases and cached page resources. See Rendering.
  • A single-row responsive toolbar that collapses actions into a “More actions” menu, keyboard shortcuts, WAI-ARIA toolbar and menu semantics, and native, overlay or controlled fullscreen.
  • Download, and printing through a hidden frame with every page on a sheet of its own size, or printMode="open-url" to hand the document to the browser’s own viewer. See Print.
  • Opt-in features: continuous layout, thumbnails, text layer, links, search, page-number input, zoom presets and reset, fit modes, Ctrl/⌘ + wheel zoom and a password prompt. See Features.
  • Label overrides with locale-aware number formatting, 50+ CSS variables and dark / auto presets. See Customization.
  • Headless building blocks: usePdfDocument, PdfPageCanvas, PdfToolbar and useControllableState. See Headless.
  • Secure by default: isEvalSupported: false, a pdfjs-dist peer range that excludes CVE-2024-4367, external links opened with rel="noopener noreferrer", no script injection, and SSR-safe rendering. See Security.
