PDF Viewer

IntelliJ PDF Viewer plugin adds support for viewing PDF files in IntelliJ-based IDEs. This plugin uses recently integrated (2020.2) CEF (Chromium Embedded Framework) browser to render PDF documents with PDF.js library.

Shortcuts

• Move editor up or down: up and down arrow keys.

Feature Notes

• Text search will work only in text-based documents. For example, it won't work in all-images documents (books scans).
• For the sections list or structure view to work documents should define sections list. Otherwise, sections view won't be active, and the structure view will be empty.
• Right-click on a pdf to open it in PDFium, the default Chrome PDF viewer. If you do not see a context menu, it may help to go to Help > Find Action, search for Registry, set pdf.viewer.use.jcef.osr.view to false, and restart. See IJPL-59459 for more details.
• To view pdfs in a Code With Me session, you may need to install the PDF viewer plugin (0.17.0 or later) in the client as well. This feature is still expirimental, for more info see CWM-1199.
