Use this package as a library

1. Depend on it

Add this to your package's pubspec.yaml file:

dependencies:
  flutter_pdfview: ^1.4.5

2. Install it

You can install packages from the command line:

with Flutter:

$ flutter packages get

Alternatively, your editor might support pub get or flutter packages get. Check the docs for your editor to learn more.

3. Import it

Now in your Dart code, you can use:

import 'package:flutter_pdfview/flutter_pdfview.dart';

Notes:

• showScrollIndicators is ignored on iOS while horizontal page-flipping is active (pageFling: true together with swipeHorizontal: true).
• autoSpacing only adds gaps between pages. It does not change initial zoom or fitPolicy (fixed in #150).

Using PDFView inside a scrollable widget

When a PDFView is embedded in a scrollable parent (SingleChildScrollView, ListView, PageView, ...), the parent can claim drag gestures before they reach the native view, so swiping inside the PDF does not work — most notably on iOS (#265). Pass an EagerGestureRecognizer to let the PDF view consume gestures within its bounds:

import 'package:flutter/foundation.dart';
import 'package:flutter/gestures.dart';

PDFView(
  filePath: path,
  gestureRecognizers: {
    Factory<OneSequenceGestureRecognizer>(() => EagerGestureRecognizer()),
  },
)

getScreenshot	Create a PNG of the contents of the PDFView and save to fileName	String fileName	Future<String>
getPosition	Get the position of the top left of the PDF with respect to the origin (top left of PDFView)	-	Future<Offset>
getScale	Get the PDF zoom value, for zooming	-	Future<double>
setPosition	Set the position of the top left of the PDF with respect to the origin (top left of PDFView)	Offset position	Future<bool>
setScale	Set the PDF zoom value, for zooming	double scale	Future<bool>
setZoomLimits	Set the minimum, maximum and mid bounds of the zoom limits	double minZoom, double midZoom, double maxZoom	-
reload	Reload the PDF document in the PDFView	-	Future<bool>

Example

PDFView(
  filePath: path,
  enableSwipe: true,
  swipeHorizontal: true,
  autoSpacing: false,
  pageFling: false,
  showScrollIndicators: true,
  backgroundColor: Colors.grey,
  onRender: (_pages) {
    setState(() {
      pages = _pages;
      isReady = true;
    });
  },
  onError: (error) {
    print(error.toString());
  },
  onPageError: (page, error) {
    print('$page: ${error.toString()}');
  },
  onViewCreated: (PDFViewController pdfViewController) {
    _controller.complete(pdfViewController);
  },
  onPageChanged: (int page, int total) {
    print('page change: $page/$total');
  },
  onLoadComplete: (int? pages) {
    print('# of pages: $pages');
  },
  onDraw: (double xOffset, double yOffset, double scale) {
    print('onDraw');
  },
),
