v7.2.0

What's new?

• Added support for new renderMode: "custom". When set, you can pass custom renderer function to customRenderer prop (#1408).
• Improved RSC compatibility. You no longer need to add 'use client'; to the parent component for this component to work.

What's changed?

• Improved documentation not to suggest using inline object as options prop value (#1567).
• Added guidelines for installation in Next.js app (#1508).

Bug fixes

• @types/react and @types/react-dom are now optional peerDependencies, which eliminates errors caused by duplicate typings.

v7.1.3

What's changed?

• Updated clsx dependency to 2.0.0 to enable ESM support in the near future.

v7.1.2

Bug fixes

• Fixed customTextRenderer not working on documents without marked content (#1530, #1531). Thanks, @MattL75!

v7.1.1

Bug fixes

• Improved performance by avoiding unnecessary re-renders (#1526).

v7.1.0

Large and exciting release, full of improvements and new features, mainly thanks to our contributors, @kostassite, @iamandrewluca and @MattL75, and sponsors. Become a sponsor and help making React-PDF even better!

What's new?

• Added Thumbnail component which lets you render thumbnails (#898, #1519).
• Forms rendered by annotation layer are now using AnnotationStorage. This allows you to hook into pdf.annotationStorage in pdf provided in onDocumentLoadSuccess callback and listen for form data changes (#1518). Thanks, @kostassite!
• New hooks: useDocumentContext, useOutlineContext and usePageContext. These hooks allow you to build custom components that hook (pun not intended) into React-PDF API (#1505). Thanks, @iamandrewluca!
• If onItemClick was not provided neither to Document nor Outline components, React-PDF will now attempt to navigate to the page of the clicked outline item on its own, just like it does for internal links.

What's changed?

• Improved accessibility by introducing structure tree. This also introduces new props in Page: onGetStructTreeSuccess and onGetStructTreeError (#1494, #1498). Thanks, @MattL75!

Bug fixes

• Fixed onItemClick types incorrectly marking dest as required.
• Fixed onItemClick not passed from Document to Outline. Previously, you had to manually pass onItemClick to Outline component. Now, you only need to pass it to Document.

v7.0.3

Bug fixes

• Allowed all DocumentInitParameters to be passed to options prop.

v7.0.2

Bug fixes

• Fixed "Worker was destroyed" error when Document was unmounted or updated before the worker finished loading the PDF file.
• Fixed annotations not displaying properly when global CSS had section selector styled.

v7.0.1

Bug fixes

• Fixed annotation layer rendered under text layer, resulting in some annotations not clickable (#1503). Thanks, @iamandrewluca!

v7.0.0

See Upgrade guide from version 6.x to 7.x.

This is one of the biggest update - for React-PDF and for me personally. React-PDF has been rewritten from scratch using TypeScript and React Hooks. I've put a tremendous amount of effort to modernize the package without introducing any major breaking changes. If, however, something have slipped through 137 unit tests we have, please let me know. I hope you will like it.
