What makes React PDF
the best React PDF Viewer alternative?
Actively updated and maintained
React PDF ships regular updates, so you always get the latest features and fixes. React PDF Viewer does neither. In fact, it has not been updated since March 2023.
React 19 Support
React PDF already works with React 19, letting you build on the newest version without worrying about breaking changes. We''re working to support transitions from “element.ref” to ensure smooth transition.
Documentation Quality
The docs for React PDF are friendly and clear, with examples that walk you through real use cases. React PDF Viewer''s documentation feels disorganized, cluttered, and makes setup harder.
Ease of Integration
React PDF''s library design makes it easy for React developers to implement and customize - an edge over plugin features of React PDF Viewer which can feel unnecessary complex.
Reliable Team Support
If you need help, the team behind React PDF answers regularly and keeps improving the project. React PDF Viewer is a one-man team that hasn''t responded in years.
Synergy with Vue PDF Viewer
React PDF is built by Vue PDF Viewer team. Feedbacks from clients of both frameworks would make it easy to create a consistent experience - improve React PDF productively and effectively.
Compared to React PDF Viewer
React PDF matches most of the features of React PDF Viewer. React PDF is just getting started and will offer much more in the near future.
