    And include the relevant css styles as required:

    .pdf-controls { width: 100%; display: block; background: #eee; padding: 1em;}

  • open the file index.html with a web server

When url is base64 or Uint8Array

Create a Blob:

currentBlob = new Blob([result], {type: 'application/pdf'});
$scope.pdfUrl = URL.createObjectURL(currentBlob);

Handle error

In the controller, you can call the function $scope.onError:

$scope.onError = function(error) {
	// handle the error
	// console.log(error);
}

Show loading

In the controller, you can call the function $scope.onLoad when the pdf succesfully loaded:

$scope.loading = 'loading';

$scope.onLoad = function() {
  // do something when pdf is fully loaded
  // $scope.loading = '';
}

Show progress percentage

In the controller, you can call the function $scope.onProgress

$scope.onProgress = function(progress) {
	// handle a progress bar
	// progress% = progress.loaded / progress.total
	// console.log(progress);
}

Managing password requests

In the controller, you can use the function scope.onPassword. This function is called when the PDF require an opening password.

$scope.onPassword = function (updatePasswordFn, passwordResponse) {
  // if passwordResponse === PDFJS.PasswordResponses.NEED_PASSWORD
  // you can provide the password calling updatePasswordFn('THE_PASSWORD')
  // else if passwordResponse === PDFJS.PasswordResponses.INCORRECT_PASSWORD
  // provided password is not correct
};
