If error's check has 3rd item (2nd index) of errorArguments, it can be grouped with other checks with the same id from check.errorArguments[2] ('${clause}-${testNumber}-${check.errorArguments[2]}' => 4.1.2-9-79)bboxTitle is an optional parameter that is set to title and aria-describedby bounding box attributes. Currently support these locations:JSON string of bbox object: {"bbox":[{"p":1,"rect":[x,y,x2,y2]}]}String with coordinates for left-bottom point and top-right:pages[1-2]/boundingBox[x,y,x2,y2]String path through tagged structure tree: root/document[0]/pages[1](1 0 obj PDPage)/annots[1](100 0 obj PDLinkAnnot)String path to glyph in page stream: root/document[0]/pages[0](14 0 obj PDPage)/contentStream[0](20 0 obj PDSemanticContentStream)/operators[6]/usedGlyphs[5](OPCPIB+TimesNewRomanPSMT OPCPIB+TimesNewRomanPSMT 32 0 56991387 0) New contexts will be added. | n/a | [{ groupId: '4.1.2-9-79', location: 'pages[2-4]/boundingBox[10,200,300,400]' }] | | activeBboxIndex | Index of active bbox from bboxes array | n/a | 0 | | activeBboxId | Id of active tree bbox | n/a | "0:3:11:0" | | showAllPages | Boolean flag to show pdf with all pages with scroll or single page | false | true | | isTreeBboxesVisible | Boolean flag to show tree bboxes | false | true | | error | What the component should display in case of an error. | "Failed to load PDF file." | String:"An error occurred!"React element:<div>An error occurred!</div>Function:this.renderError | | treeBboxSelectionMode | String that determines how tree bboxes are highlighted:The value "SELECTED" selects only the current bboxThe value "SELECTED_WITH_KIDS" selects the current bbox and all child bboxes | "SELECTED" | One of the following values: "SELECTED""SELECTED_WITH_KIDS" | | externalLinkTarget | Link target for external links rendered in annotations. | unset, which means that default behavior will be used | One of valid values for target attribute. "_self""_blank""_parent""_top" | | loading | What the component should display while loading. | "Loading PDF…" | String:"Please wait!"React element:<div>Please wait!</div>Function:this.renderLoader | | noData | What the component should display in case of no data. | "No PDF file specified." | String:"Please select a file."React element:<div>Please select a file.</div>Function:this.renderNoData | | defaultWidth | Default width (usually a Document container width) to be used before page is loaded for pages larger then the container to prevent blank pages issue | n/a | 210 | | defaultHeight | Default height (usually a Document container height) to be used before page is loaded for pages larger then the container to prevent blank pages issue | n/a | 270 | | rotate | Rotation of the document in degrees. If provided, will change rotation globally, even for the pages which were given rotate prop of their own. 90 = rotated to the right, 180 = upside down, 270 = rotated to the left. | n/a | 90 | | onLoadSuccess | Function called when the document is successfully loaded. | n/a | (pdf) => alert('Loaded a file with ' + pdf.numPages + ' pages!') | | onLoadError | Function called in case of an error while loading a document. | n/a | (error) => alert('Error while loading document! ' + error.message) | | onItemClick | Function called when an outline item has been clicked. Usually, you would like to use this callback to move the user wherever they requested to. | n/a | ({ pageNumber }) => alert('Clicked an item from page ' + pageNumber + '!') | | onBboxClick | Function called when an bbox item has been clicked. | n/a | (bboxData) => alert('Selected bbox from ' + bboxData.page + ' page!') | | onPageChange | Function called when page changed during scrolling | n/a | (page: number) => alert('New page ' + page); | | onWarning | Function called in case of a warning for the selected bounding box. The warning is described by the code from the list: BBOX_OUT_OF_THE_PAGE_VIEWPORT (selected bounding box is out of the page viewport) | n/a | (warningCode: string) => alert('Warning: ' + warningCode); | | Page props | | | | | page | Which page from PDF file should be displayed, by page number. In case showAllPages={true} autoscroll to provided page | 1 | 2 | | inputRef | A prop that behaves like ref, but it's passed to main <div> rendered by <Page> component. | n/a | Function:(ref) => { this.myPage = ref; }Ref created using React.createRef:this.ref = React.createRef();…inputRef={this.ref}Ref created using React.useRef:const ref = React.useRef();…inputRef={ref} | | pageError | What the component should display in case of an error. | "Failed to load the page." | String:"An error occurred!"React element:<div>An error occurred!</div>Function:this.renderError | | height | Page height. If neither height nor width are defined, page will be rendered at the size defined in PDF. If you define width and height at the same time, height will be ignored. If you define height and scale at the same time, the height will be multiplied by a given factor. | Page's default height | 300 | | width | Page width. If neither height nor width are defined, page will be rendered at the size defined in PDF. If you define width and height at the same time, height will be ignored. If you define width and scale at the same time, the width will be multiplied by a given factor. | Page's default width | 300 | | pageLoading | What the component should display while loading. | "Loading page…" | String:"Please wait!"React element:<div>Please wait!</div>Function:this.renderLoader | | renderAnnotationLayer | Whether annotations (e.g. links) should be rendered. | true | false | | renderInteractiveForms | Whether interactive forms should be rendered. renderAnnotationLayer prop must be set to true.
