react-pdf (pdfjs-dist)

The industry standard for rendering PDF files in React applications using a high-level component architecture built on PDF.js.

React-pdf simplifies document integration by wrapping Mozilla's PDF.js library into declarative components like Document and Page. It handles complex tasks including text layer selection, annotation rendering, and worker-thread management with minimal configuration. Developers use it to display local files or remote URLs (via CORS) while maintaining full control over CSS styling and page navigation. With over 10,000 GitHub stars and 1.5 million weekly downloads, it is the most reliable choice for building custom PDF viewers in the React ecosystem.
