WebPDF.pro

PDF pages as HTML elements.

pdf-file loads a PDF. pdf-page shows one of its pages, with text you can select, links that work and forms you can fill. All in the browser: no iframe, no server, no framework. 

<script src=//new.webpdf.pro/.js type=module controls></script>
               <pdf-file id=f src=your.pdf></pdf-file>
               <pdf-page of=f></pdf-page>

Signatures, verified on the page.

Add signatures and every signed field shows who signed, when, and whether the file changed since. Certificate chains, RFC 3161 timestamps, OCSP and CRL are checked with Web Crypto.

You choose whom to trust: your own root certificates, or the Adobe , EU , Microsoft and Mozilla trust lists.

Evaluate on your own site.

Everything works on any domain from the first line. Until a domain is licensed, its pages carry this light watermark with its name; localhost and *.test stay clean, and saved files never carry it.

Questions

Do PDFs leave the browser?

No. Pages are drawn, forms are filled and saved, and signatures are checked right in your visitor's browser. Checking a signature fetches certificate status and trust lists, never the PDF.

Which browsers are supported?

Current Chrome, Edge, Firefox and Safari, on desktop and mobile.

Does it work with my framework?

Yes. pdf-file and pdf-page are standard custom elements, so they work anywhere HTML does.

Where does the watermark show?

Only on screen, on domains without a license; never on localhost or *.test. Saved and exported files are never watermarked.

How is a domain licensed?

Tell us the domain or app and the plan. Once it is licensed, the watermark disappears there, with no change to your code.
