PDFviewer — Frontfriend

Interactive preview

Rendered from the shared Frontfriend stories with React Base, the same preview Studio shows. Styling comes from your Design System; the code below is native to Radix UI.

Installation

Complete project setup first. Your configuration must select react/radix and include your Design System ID.

pnpm exec frontfriend download pdf-viewer -f react --primitive radix

Review dependencies reported by the downloader and keep your source changes in version control.

API reference

Frontfriend-owned props. Native HTML and inherited primitive props remain documented by Radix UI.

Prop	Type	Default	Description
`file`	`string`	`—`	PDF URL or data URI. The default document is bundled with this example.
`fileName`	`string`	`—`	File name for the downloaded PDF.

Configuration determines the actual classes and available styling hooks. See Theming & component configuration before introducing a repeated local override.
