PDF Pro for Stacks

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

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