PDFoundry VS react-pdf

In the past, I've used PDFoundry to give access to my players. It's been a while for me, so YMMV.

As the title. PDFoundry has been deprecated because FoundryVTT now includes built-in PDF support. Now, PDFoundry had extra features that I don't know if they exist yet in vanilla Foundry. For example, the ability to use a form-fillable PDF as a character sheet (which, in practice, allowed me to play almost any RPG system using the VTT with some minimal configuration).

I also appreciate you can just use a form fillable pdf on foundry thanks to the PDfoundry Module. However I've had some difficulty with that and so wanted a non-pdf option.

- PDFoundry, which allows you to set form-fillable PDFs as character sheets

There's a known issue with that happening. https://github.com/Djphoenix719/PDFoundry/issues/48

There are actually two npm packages called "react-pdf": one is for displaying PDFs and one is for generating PDFs. Today we are focusing on the one to generate PDFs: https://github.com/wojtekmaj/react-pdf.

Not sure if that would work for youck, I used react-pdf to format the size and text required within the document before printing.

I am trying to load a PDF from my src/assets folder, following the example from here I have the following code:

Then I suddenly had an idea. Im sure React/client side has a JS library! And indeed, both react-pdf and a few satellite libraries had exactly what I needed.

Hmm, that's tricky. Maybe mocking the PDF return can help here: https://github.com/wojtekmaj/react-pdf/issues/564?

My project stick with IE, so I using [email protected], I find out the example for doing this codesandbox but it was been limited, by using 5.1 and upper.

I don't know.

For people who want a React wrappers around pdf.js, there are open source alternatives such as react-pdf: https://github.com/wojtekmaj/react-pdf
