Touch screen on PC as detect like a mobile

[Jérémy Guyenot]

Hello,

i've buy a Dell XPS 15" with a touchscreen and the viewer is telling me "PDF document viewing is not currently supported by the mobile viewer."

I've to override the "PDFTron.WebViewer.prototype.isMobileDevice" to disable the test on "touch".

Have you planned another test?

My userAgent string: ""Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; WOW64; Trident/7.0; Touch; .NET4.0C; .NET4.0E; .NET CLR 2.0.50727; .NET CLR 3.0.30729; .NET CLR 3.5.30729; Tablet PC 2.0; rv:11.0) like Gecko""

The override:
/**
* Detects if the current browser is on a mobile device.
* @return {boolean} true if this page is loaded on a mobile device.
*/
PDFTron.WebViewer.prototype.isMobileDevice = function() {
return ((this.scrollbarWidth() === 0 && navigator.userAgent.match(/Edge/i))
|| navigator.userAgent.match(/Android/i) || navigator.userAgent.match(/webOS/i)
|| navigator.userAgent.match(/iPhone/i) || navigator.userAgent.match(/iPod/i)
|| navigator.userAgent.match(/iPad/i) /*|| navigator.userAgent.match(/Touch/i)*/
|| navigator.userAgent.match(/IEMobile/i) || navigator.userAgent.match(/Silk/i));
};

Hi,

WebViewer 3.1 has changed the check so that it always uses the desktop viewer when using Internet Explorer. However changing the check so that it doesn't look for "touch" would also work.

Thanks for the answer. I've test and it's ok.
