Deploying WebViewer App as PWA

[David Compton]

I'm trying to add pre-caching of static files and assets to my application using workbox in order to turn my web application into a PWA.  There are a few large files contained in the PDFTron html5 source:

html5/office/WebOfficeWorker.js

html5/office/WebOfficeWorker.js.mem

html5/office/WebOfficeWorker.pexe

html5/pdf/PDFNetC.js

html5/pdf/PDFWorker.ext

These 5 files total 68 mb out of a total 85 mb in the html5 folder.

My question is do all of these files need to be deployed to my web server?

Kind regards,

David

It depends on what document types you'd need to support.

If you are supporting pdf, you do need files from pdf folder.

If you are supporting office, you need files from both pdf and office folders.

Hi Justin,

I thought that was probably the case.  Do you have documentation that details just which files need to be deployed if you are only supporting XOD files (as we are).  I have removed the PDF and Office folders - there are also some php files that I presume are not needed (I had to exclude them from the offline cache anyway).  Removing those 2 folders reduced the size of files I was distributing from 85 mb down to about 5mb.  I'd like to remove anything else that is not required.  

Thanks,

David

WebViewer is designed as a frontend solution that can handle multiple document types, and thus those files are included as default.

But you are right, perhaps we should clarify to avoid our clients from including unnecessary files.

You can safely remove the php files, and lib/html5/doc folder as well.
