PDF Pro for Stacks

03/24/2025
PDF Pro builds on top of the features of our popular PDF Embed stack. It uses the same modern PDF viewer for showcasing your documents. However, PDF Pro allows for customizations and theming of the toolbar. It also enables powerful annotation tools to highlight, draw, stamp and add text. Visitors can then print or download a new PDF with their annotations. Check out PDF Pro at https://www.weavers.space/stacks/pdf-pro

00:10 hi so in this video we're going to be
00:11 looking at PDF Pro which is a highly
00:13 customizable PDF viewer that is going to
00:16 make your documents shine across all
00:18 browsers and
00:20 devices now PDF Pro is an upgrade to our
00:23 PDF embed stack that allows you to do a
00:26 lot more as you notice we have a nice
00:28 way of seeing our index or thumbnails of
00:31 all of the uh various Pages within our
00:33 document we can navigate and search PDFs
00:37 as well as you know adjust the scale but
00:40 what's really cool is some of the other
00:42 new features that we have in PDF Pro we
00:44 have some annotation features that allow
00:47 us to do some really cool things first
00:50 off is we have a highlight feature so
00:52 when we highlight we can actually
00:53 highlight
00:56 text adjust the color
01:00 we can in inject our own
01:09 text we can
01:11 draw maybe do your
01:14 signature and then we can add our own
01:16 stamps as well which allows us to add
01:18 basically any image that we want as you
01:21 see this allows us to add images
01:23 directly onto our
01:26 PDF now once we've annotated our PDF we
01:29 can actually go ahead head and print or
01:31 even download that PDF directly to our
01:33 machine we also have a lot of great
01:36 tools here that allow you to adjust the
01:38 scrolling and the layouts of the
01:40 PDF now PDF Pro is super easy to
01:43 configure simply add it to the page and
01:45 then go ahead and say edit link now once
01:48 the link dialogue opens up you just
01:49 simply paste in your either your url to
01:52 your PDF file or if you've added to the
01:54 project resources just type in the
01:57 name now if you're still using rapid we
02:00 probably you're going to add your PDF to
02:02 your project resources go ahead and
02:04 click on that PDF right click and say
02:07 copy URL now once you have that URL on
02:10 your clipboard click on edit link go
02:12 ahead and paste that URL into the PDF
02:15 URL settings once you publish you're
02:18 good to go now the height settings in
02:20 PDF Pro are exactly the same as in PDF
02:23 and bed right now and basically the
02:26 default settings are probably what you
02:27 want this is going to allow us to have
02:30 have a percentage based on the browser
02:32 height so by default it's going to be
02:34 90% of the browser height on page load
02:37 and you can supply different sizes for
02:39 small medium and large break points and
02:42 if you still want older pixel or
02:44 percentage based sizing you can do that
02:45 here as
02:48 well now next up is we can either show
02:51 or hide the entire Toolbar to give you
02:53 kind of a headless PDF youer look or we
02:56 can go and
02:57 customize the colors as well now this
03:00 allows us to have themes based on light
03:02 mode and dark mode of the browser so
03:05 depending if your user is in light mode
03:06 or dark mode you can completely
03:08 customize the theme now I personally
03:11 like the default colors that come with
03:13 it but this allows you to have a very
03:15 custom experience for your PDF
03:18 viewer now when you have the toolbar
03:20 enabled you'll notice that you can
03:21 enable and disable all of the various
03:24 tools individually to get the exact
03:27 experience that you want your users to
03:29 have have when looking at your documents
03:32 so I hope you enjoy PDF Pro it is a
03:35 great PDF viewer that just looks amazing
03:38 across all devices even mobile
