Chrome PDF Viewer API or Documentation

[glezalex]

Hi there!

I have been searching for some time about an issue my company is
having with a Chrome PDF Viewer use case and I'm missing some API or
documentation about the DOM properties the viewer exposes, about how
to customize the view (Adobe's plugin like) and all this stuff.

So is there an official page were exposed detailed information about
the PDF viewer plugin?

The functionality available in the PDF viewer is (intentionally) fairly limited. It might be the case that the APIs you're having trouble finding simply don't exist. :)

Please do, however, file feature requests for those bits that are essential to your workflow: http://new.crbug.com/

Hi Mike,

Thanks for the info! I can imagine why the PDF viewer functionality is
limited. Anycase it's OK now, we can modify our workflow so it's not
an issue any more ;-).

Hi, do you know if any of the API's are exposed or documented? there is absolutely nothing I can find about any of it.

AFAIK there are no APIs exposed, which is why there is no information about it.

+raymes who knows more and can correct me if that is incorrect.

I believe that's correct. I don't believe we officially support a scripting API for external consumption.

Thanks,

Raymes

I just commented about this here:

So there is no way I can interact with this pdf embed plugin, just to know the scrolling position in an extension i'm building?
thanks for any help

Yes, it is also what I want.

And I found there is a function named handleScriptingMessage in chrome-extension://mhjfbmdgcfjbbpaeojofohoefgiehjai/pdf.js, but it only handles four messages 'getAccessibilityJSON'/'getSelectedText'/'print'/'selectAll'. It would be helpful if it handles sendKeyEvent too.

I really hope one day there is such API exposed from pdf viewer.  it is amazing feature , will inspire many creative work.
