This plugin requires pdfium.dll to be present. Both 32-bit and 64-bit variants are supported.

There are two options to include these native Dlls:

  • Put either the 32-bit or 64-bit version of the pdfium DLL in the same directory as where the plugin is located;
  • In the same directory as where the plugin is located, create an "x86" directory with the 32-bit DLL and an "x64" directory with the 64-bit DLL. The PdfiumViewer library will then automatically pick the correct one.
  • Specify downloadNativeDependencies=true during installation.

The pdfium DLLs can be downloaded from:

https://github.com/pvginkel/PdfiumViewer/raw/master/Libraries/Pdfium/x86/pdfium.dll (32-bit) https://github.com/pvginkel/PdfiumViewer/raw/master/Libraries/Pdfium/x64/pdfium.dll (64-bit)
