React PDF Viewer

  A React component to view a PDF document

  

What is the great selling point compare to use the native PDF view builtin to all modern browsers?

I really hate it when websites tries to be smart about PDF viewing. The builtin view is much better and faster.

The demo at https://react-pdf-viewer.dev is just not as good as opening the PDF directly in the browser.
