How to Zoom in/Zoom out using React-PDF in ReactJS ?

We can easily do zoom in / zoom out using React-PDF in ReactJS by passing a prop named scale inside <page /> component. Scale prop takes value only in a decimal form which means even if you want to pass an integer value you should put decimal after it. A value greater than 1 will zoom in on the page and a value less than 1 will zoom out the page.

Syntax:

<page scale = {value} />

Example 1: When you want to pass an integer value to scale.

<Page width={900} scale={30.0} className="page" pageNumber={1} />

Example 2: When you want to pass decimal value to scale.

<Page width={300} scale={0.5} className="page" pageNumber={1} />

Creating React Application And Installing Module:

Step 1: Create a React application using the following command:

npx create-react-app pdfapp

Step 2: After creating your project folder i.e. pdfapp, move to it using the following command:

cd pdfapp

Step 3: After creating the ReactJS application, Install the required module using the following command:

npm install react-pdf

Step 4: Add a sample PDF file in your src folder, like here we have added sample.pdf as shown in Project Structure.

Project Structure: It will look like the following.

Example: Now write down the following code in the App.js file. Here, App is our default component where we have written our code.

Javascript




import React from 'react';
import { Document, Page } from 'react-pdf/dist/esm/entry.webpack';
 
// Importing your sample PDF
import pdfFile from './sample.pdf'
 
// Defining our App Component
const App = () => {
 
    // Returning our JSX code
    return <>
        <div>
            <Document file={pdfFile}>
                <Page scale={2.0} pageNumber={1} />
            </Document>
        </div>
    </>;
}
 
// Exporting your Default App Component
export default App


Step to Run Application: Run the application using the following command from the root directory of the project:

npm start

Output: Now open your browser and go to http://localhost:3000/, you will see the following output:

Sample.pdf as Output
