@kochb1988 here is a lib someone could use to create a module
https://www.npmjs.com/package/pdfjs-dist
the module would need to create a canvas element for the
library to draw in. not hard
use the getscripts: method to load the lib for browser access -
Challenge accepted :)
I had some time today so I sat down and created something. Maybe useful. I’ll upload some Asterix-pdf to my mirror.
I’m happy with this status. If anyone needs modifications create a pull request. I’m not happy with the fullscreen behavior since the scaling does not work as expected (fullscreen always uses the full width, so a full page display is not nice in landscape orientation). But I do not really need this.

@chrisfr1976 cool. why fullscreen or if set to fullscreen position?
can be sized w css

@sdetweil Hi, this is the rest of my tries to show the page in 100% in fullscreen mode. So if position is set to a fullscreen region then also the fullscreen flag must be activated.
-
@chrisfr1976 cool, should be possible to control in fullscreen w css.
in car, does this support url to pdf, or just local file?
(just local file) -
@sdetweil
Hi,
now also hosted PDF-files are supported. PDF with url have now the lead. The localpdfs/folder is the fall-back if no URL is set or in case of any errors.But:
Most remote PDF is being blocked due to Cross-Origin Resource Sharing restrictions. The server hosting the PDF (https://www.w3.org/… etc.) is not allowing MagicMirror to access its resource. So the server-side PDF is downloaded locally and saved in a folder. Once the file exists locally, the download isn’t performed again. So if the server pdf is updated then the local download must be deleted.- If a URL-PDF (or one single PDF) should be displayed change
displayTime: 10000,to a higher value (avoid flickering) - If a downloaded and local pdf should be displayed then copy or move the pdf from the
pdfURLtopdfsfolder and leave the URL in the config blank.
I think there are some optimizations in file handling possible and maybe a new PDF-URL can be sent with MMM-Remote module. But I won’t work on that any further. I will use the local folder in general (if I use the module at all - don’t know).

@chrisfr1976 have you looked at the cors server api we provide?
-
-
@chrisfr1976 not well documented and not 100%
http://mm_server:mm_port/cors?url=…,
sendheaders=…,
receiveheaders=…send/receive headers are headername:value,…
code in js/server_functions.js
for my readme support in mmm-config i had to fallback to curl/wget
