PDFPageElement: error event

Syntax

Use the event name in methods like addEventListener(). WebPDF elements have no onerror event handler property.

addEventListener("error", (event) => { })

With event:prefix=type on the <script>, the file or the page, the event is named pdf-page-error instead.

Event type

A CustomEvent. Inherits from Event.

Event properties

detail

An Error: for example a ReferenceError when the page cannot find its file, or the error PDF.js or PDFium raised while drawing.

Description

A page that cannot find its file also sets an error attribute ("Error: cannot find file"), which it removes on its next render. The error event of the file covers loading the PDF.

Examples

Reporting errors

document.addEventListener("error", (event) => {
  if (event.target.localName === "pdf-page") console.warn(event.detail);
}, true);
