## Installation
```bash
cordova plugin add cordova-plugin-foxitpdf
```

It is also possible to install via repo url directly ( unstable )
```bash
cordova plugin add https://github.com/foxitsoftware/cordova-plugin-foxitpdf.git
```

Large files in the plugin may cause your update to fail. If that is the case, please try again following the steps below:
1. Clone this project
2. Add plugin from local using this command :

```bash
cordova plugin add ~/xxx/cordova-plugin-foxitpdf (This address is replaced by your own)
```


## Integration for iOS
The iOS version of the cordova plugin only needs a few simple steps to deploy


1. Unzip Foxit PDF SDK for iOS and copy libs folder into the component’s ios folder.
(`/xxx/platforms/ios/`)

Please use foxitpdfsdk_(version_no)_ios.zip from https://developers.foxitsoftware.com/pdf-sdk/ios/

2. Target -> General -> Embedded Binaries
Add dynamic framework "FoxitRDK.framework" 、"uiextensionsDynamic.framework" and "FoxitPDFScanUI.framework"
to Xcode’s Embedded Binaries

3. Target -> General -> Linked Frameworks and Libraries ->  +  -> WebKit.framework


> `Note` Do not forget to add pdf files
You can add the PDF to Copy Bundle Resources directly. Just left-click the project, find 'Copy Bundle Resources' in the 'Build Phases' tab, click on the + button, and choose the file to add. You can refer to any PDF file, just add it to the Xcode’s Copy Bundle Resources.
Or,you can use the pdf file under Document directory in sandbox



Now that the preparatory work has been completed，you can use this plugin everywhere in your project.

## Integration for Android
1. Migrating to AndroidX, Add the following configuration to xxx/platforms/android/gradle.propertie：
```xml
  android.useAndroidX=true
  android.enableJetifier=true
```

2. Download `foxitpdfsdk_(version_no)_android.zip` from [https://developers.foxitsoftware.com/pdf-sdk/android/](https://developers.foxitsoftware.com/pdf-sdk/android/) (Please use the latest version 9.0)

3. Unzip `foxitpdfsdk_(version_no)_android.zip` and copy libs folder into the component’s android folder.
`/xxx/platforms/android/`

## How to use this plugin for cordova developer
> 1. Initialize
```javascript

var sn = 'foxit_sn';
var key = 'foxit_key';
window.FoxitPdf.initialize(sn,key);

```

> 2. Open Pdf File

```javascript

var path = 'Your file path';
var password = 'password'; // If the PDF document is not encrypted by password, just pass an empty string.

window.FoxitPdf.openDocument(path, password);

```

## How to change the UI of PDF viewer control?

For Foxit PDF SDK for iOS. The UI is handled within the "FoxitRDK.framework" and "uiextensionsDynamic.framework." The files that comes with the evaluation package, however, they also comes with the source, which you can compile and replace accordingly. The UI source can be located at "libs\uiextensions_src" You can find the uiextensions.xcodeproj in the same directory. Just open this project with xcode, modified it to your needs, build, and replace them accordingly in step 2 of the instruction at https://github.com/foxitsoftware/cordova-plugin-foxitpdf#integration-for-ios.

For Android, the UI is located at the binary at libs\FoxitRDKUIExtensions.aar. You can find the source for this binary in the package at foxitpdfsdk_XXX_android.zip at libs\uiextensions_src. You can open this project with Android Studio, modified it, and replaced the FoxitRDKUIExtensions.aar file accordingly. Step 2 of https://github.com/foxitsoftware/cordova-plugin-foxitpdf#integration-for-android is where the instructions on the github page indicates that it is being used.

## iOS Screen Shot

## Android Screen Shot
![](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/foxitsoftware/cordova-plugin-foxitpdf/master/plugin_android.gif)


## Supported Platforms

- iOS

- Android



## iOS Quicks

1. The first argument in the preview method currently only supports absolute paths for incoming files.

You can obtain the absolute path to the file using the method provided by the [cordova-plugin-file] (https://github.com/apache/cordova-plugin-file) plugin.

Use the following command to add the [cordova-plugin-file] (https://github.com/apache/cordova-plugin-file) plugin to your project

```bash
cordova plugin add cordova-plugin-file
```

2. Note: in some cases the resource folders are not added correctly and the number of items is the same because of XCode bug.（e.g.  Xcode 8.3.3）
In that case, remove the added reference from the project tree and add the Resource using the project tree - Add files to "YourProjectName". Remember to enable the option of "copy items if needed" and "create groups" when using this method.

If an error similar to the one in the following picture appears, try the method in step 2
![](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/foxitsoftware/cordova-plugin-foxitpdf/master/lack_resource.png)



## Quick Example

A PDF file needs to be placed in the project beforehand. The location is in the project root by default

```javascript

var filePathSaveTo = cordova.file.documentsDirectory + 'getting_started_ios_2.pdf'
window.FoxitPdf.setSavePath(filePathSaveTo);

var filePath cordova.file.applicationDirectory + 'getting_started_ios.pdf';
window.FoxitPdf.openDocument(filePath,'');

window.FoxitPdf.addEventListener('onDocOpened',function(data){
console.log('onDocOpened callback ',data);
console.log('onDocOpened callback info',data.info);
if (data.error == 0){
var data_type = 0x0002;
window.FoxitPdf.importFromFDF(cordova.file.documentsDirectory + 'Annot_all.fdf',data_type, [[0, 1]]);
}
});

```

## Attention

1. The product is still in its early stage of development. We will continue to focus on refining and improving this project.

2. If your cordova version is 7.0.0, you might encounter this problem:
