Disable tile rendering in JavaScript PDF Viewer

13 Feb 20261 minute to read

Use the enableTileRendering property to enable or disable tile rendering. Tile rendering is enabled by default and typically improves performance for large documents. Set enableTileRendering to false to disable tile rendering when it is not required.

  • Include the JavaScript PDF Viewer script and the ThumbnailView/Navigation modules if using related features.
  • Initialize the viewer instance before changing tile rendering settings at runtime.

Example: disable tile rendering with a button

<button id="disable">Disable tile rendering</button>


// Disable tile rendering at runtime
document.getElementById('disable').addEventListener('click', () => {
  viewer.tileRenderingSettings.enableTileRendering = false;
});
