Quickly Browse Long PDF Documents

March 22, 2024
Thumbnail navigation allows users to efficiently navigate through lengthy documents by providing visual previews of each page.

Thumbnail navigation in JavaScript PDF Viewers enables users to view miniature previews of pages within a PDF document, typically displayed in a sidebar or grid layout. These thumbnails provide users with a visual overview of the document's content, allowing for quick navigation and selection of specific pages.

Several JavaScript PDF Viewer components offer thumbnail navigation including:

  • Wijmo PDF Viewer (part of Wijmo by MESCIUS) integrates thumbnail navigation, enabling quick page selection for streamlined document browsing.
  • PrizmDoc Viewer by Accusoft offers thumbnail navigation functionality, providing users an efficient way to navigate PDF documents within their applications.
  • Syncfusion PDF Viewer (part of Syncfusion Essential Studio Enterprise) incorporates thumbnail navigation, empowering users with intuitive document exploration capabilities.
