Repository files navigation

FabricJS layer on top of Mozilla's PDFJS to add ANNOTATIONS

Alt text

Features

  • Supports PDFs with multiple pages

  • Free draw tool

  • Add text

  • Add arrows

  • Add rectangles

  • Add image

  • Change colors

  • Change Brush size

  • Change Font size

  • Every object can be resize

  • Serialize all canvas data into JSON and re-draw

  • Delete individual object

  • Clear page

  • Export PDF with annotations (using jsPDF)

Important: exported file will be a PDF with set of images. So you won't be able to use functions like text selections. trying my best to add the text layer. Due to lack of PDFJs documentation about this section progress is very slow. If anyone interested you can check the progress on dev branch.

Usage

var pdf = new PDFAnnotate('pdf-container-id', 'https://url-to.pdf');

pdf.enableSelector(); // Enable moviing tool

    //
