How to open pdf document on button click inside a Grid?

2 mins read

You can open a pdf document in a modal dialog on button click which is placed inside the grid. This can be achieved by using the Grid, Dialog, and PdfViewer components.

First, the Dialog and PdfViewer components will be initialized. The PdfViewer element will be rendered inside the Dialog element and its visibility is set as false.

<div id="dialog">

    <div id="pdfViewer"></div>

</div>

 

let dialogObj: Dialog = new Dialog({

        header: "Details",

        showCloseIcon: true,

        isModal: true,

        visible: false

});

dialogObj.appendTo("#dialog");

 

let viewer: PdfViewer = new PdfViewer({

        serviceUrl:

            "https://ej2services.syncfusion.com/production/web-services/api/pdfviewer",

        documentPath: "document"

});

viewer.appendTo("#pdfViewer");

viewer.load("PDF_Succinctly.pdf", null);

 

Then, a button will be rendered inside the Grid column with click event bound to it. On button click, the modal dialog will be displayed which contains the pdf document.

<script>
    function onClick() {
        var dialogObj = document.getElementById("dialog").ej2_instances[0];
        dialogObj.show();
    }
</script>
