javascript - How to display whole PDF (not only one page) with PDF.JS?

Question

I've created this demo:

http://polishwords.com.pl/dev/pdfjs/test.html

It displays one page. I would like to display all pages. One below another, or place some buttons to change page or even better load all standard controls of PDF.JS like in Firefox. How to acomplish this?

PDFJS has a member variable numPages, so you'd just iterate through them. BUT it's important to remember that getting a page in pdf.js is asynchronous, so the order wouldn't be guaranteed. So you'd need to chain them. You could do something along these lines:

var currPage = 1; //Pages are 1-based not 0-based
var numPages = 0;
var thePDF = null;

//This is where you start
PDFJS.getDocument(url).then(function(pdf) {

        //Set PDFJS global object (so we can easily access in our page functions
        thePDF = pdf;

        //How many pages it has
        numPages = pdf.numPages;

        //Start with first page
        pdf.getPage( 1 ).then( handlePages );
});



function handlePages(page)
{
    //This gives us the page's dimensions at full scale
    var viewport = page.getViewport( 1 );

    //We'll create a canvas for each page to draw it on
    var canvas = document.createElement( "canvas" );
    canvas.style.display = "block";
    var context = canvas.getContext('2d');
    canvas.height = viewport.height;
    canvas.width = viewport.width;

    //Draw it on the canvas
    page.render({canvasContext: context, viewport: viewport});

    //Add it to the web page
    document.body.appendChild( canvas );

    //Move to next page
    currPage++;
    if ( thePDF !== null && currPage <= numPages )
    {
        thePDF.getPage( currPage ).then( handlePages );
    }
}
