Text Edit
Text edit (beta)
WebViewer 7.1 adds support for an experimental text edit feature in the UI which allows you to edit text directly on PDF files. After selecting text a button appears in the text selection menu which allows you to change the text.
This feature only works with PDF files. If you want to edit text on a different type of file you can call the loadDocument function with the
loadAsPDF: true option. For example documentViewer.loadDocument('myfile.docx', { loadAsPDF: true })Enable text editing feature
This feature requires the WebViewer Full API , which can be enabled by passing the option fullAPI: true into the WebViewer constructor and you also need to enable the text edit button in the UI.
WebViewer({
fullAPI: true,
// other options
}, document.getElementById('viewer'))
.then(() => {
// Enable text edit button
instance.UI.enableElements(['editTextButton']);
});You will see the text edit button after selecting text
Please note that the text edit feature is still experimental. Known issues are:
- If the updated content takes more space than the original content then extra content will be removed
- The vertical alignment of the updated content may not match the original text
