PDF VIEWER

A custom built PDF viewer for Joplin's use. The viewer is designed to be rendered in an iframe. This package produces the build files in /dist folder.

Installation & Usage

From root of the project:

yarn install

This step will also run yarn build and build the viewer on post-install and populate the /dist folder. We are using weback for build process.

When working on the viewer, after code updates you need to rebuild the viewer:

yarn build

Alternatively, you can use yarn watch to rebuild automatically on code changes.

yarn watch

The build process of app-desktop takes care of copying the content of /dist and the root html file to appropriate location.
