Launch Production-Ready React PDF Viewer in Minutes
Hey Indie Hackers! 👋 I launched a couple of months back React PDF, a PDF viewer built specifically for React developers.
Why I built it:
I was frustrated with existing PDF Viewer solutions for React. They were missing key features, hard to customize or too expensive. I wanted something fast, native to the React ecosystem and reasonably priced.
What it does:
🧩 Built with React — No iframes, full control using React Context and hooks
⚡ High-performance rendering — Handles large documents with virtual scroll & lazy loading
🧰 Customizable UI — Control toolbars, layout, zoom levels, side panels, and themes
📱 Responsive design — Works great on desktop and mobile with smart UI adaptation
🌐 Multi-language support — Built-in i18n with ability to add custom languages
📎 Production ready — Fully documented, well-tested, and actively maintained
If you’re building something in React or Next.js and need a solid PDF viewer, check it out: https://www.react-pdf.dev
Happy to hear feedback, bug reports, or ideas for improvements.
Thanks all!
About
I built React PDF out of frustration. Most PDF viewers for the web relied on iframes, were hard to customize, or didn’t play well with modern React setups.
