Thumbnails position

[Samuele Panarotto]

Good morning,

is there a way to place the thumbnails outside the iframe of PDFViewer?

Thank you

Hi Samuele,

To load thumbnails from outside the iframe you'll want to get access to the Document object inside the iframe and then call the LoadThumbnailAsync function. Then you can layout the thumbnails as you like. For example:

$(viewerElement).on('documentLoaded', function(e) {

    var doc = myWebViewer.getInstance().docViewer.GetDocument();
    doc.LoadThumbnailAsync(2, function(thumb) {
        // do something with the thumbnail
        $('body').append(thumb);
    });
});

If you want to see what WebViewer is doing by default then look at lib/html5/ReaderControl.js and find the initThumbnailView function.
