In Panel Preview Update

To support the in panel previews introduced in wagtail 4.0, this module now employs pdf.js as server hosted PDF viewer.

Support

This version supports wagtail 4 and wagtail 5.

Upgrading from 0.2.1

Check whether wagtail_pdf_view is inside INSTALLED_APPS:

# settings.py

INSTALLED_APPS = [
    ...
    # this is now required!
    'wagtail_pdf_view',
    'wagtail.contrib.routable_page',
    ...
]

It is now required to hook in wagtail_pdf_urls.urls into your projects urls.py:

# urls.py

from wagtail_pdf_view import urls as wagtail_pdf_urls

# this is now required!
urlpatterns = urlpatterns + [
    # hook in the 'live'-view PDFs under "pdf/"
    path("pdf/", include(wagtail_pdf_urls)),
    ...
    # IMPORTANT: This must be below the "pdf/" include
    path("", include(wagtail_urls)),
    ...
]
