  type="pdfjs"
  content-class="absolute"
/>

or

<template>
  <div class="container q-pa-lg">
    <q-pdfviewer
      :src="src"
      type="html5"
      content-class="fit container"
      inner-content-class="fit container"
    />
  </div>
</template>

<script>
export default {
  name: 'Container',
  props: {
    src: String
  }
}
</script>

<style>
.container {
  max-width: 50%;
  max-height: 70%;
  min-width: 400px;
  min-height: 600px;
  width: 100%;
  height: 100%;
}
</style>

```

Using blob data (for `type="html5"` only):

```js
fetchPDF (payload) {
  axios.post('/my/url/to/pdf', payload, { responseType: 'blob' })
    .then(res => {
      // create the blob
      const blob = new Blob([res.data], { type: res.data.type })
      // set reactive variable
      pdfSrc = window.URL.createObjectURL(blob)
    })
    .catch(err => {
      $q.notify({
        message: 'Error downloading PDF',
        type: 'negative',
        textColor: 'white',
        color: 'negative',
        icon: 'error',
        closeBtn: 'close',
        position: 'top'
      })
    })
}
```

NOTE:
  QPdfviewer now has support for native HTML5 PDF viewer and for PDFJS. Use `type="html5"` or `type="pdfjs"`. If you previously had this app extension, and want to use the pdfjs, you will need to re-install it. An update will not get the PDFJS for you. If you update, you can run `quasar ext invoke @quasar/qpdfviewer` instead of re-installing.

---
NOTE:
  QPdfviewer uses the `<object>` tag for displaying the PDF (`type="html5"` only). Should the browser not support this, the fallback is to use an `<iframe>`. And, should this also not be supported by the browser, then some text will be displayed with a link to the PDF so the user can download it for off-line viewing.

  When using PDFJS, the PDF is always displayed in an `<iframe>`.

---
NOTE:
  QPdfviewer now works with Electron, but you have to use `type="pdfjs"` to get this functionality.
