### FAQ
<details>
  <summary>FAQ details</summary>

Q1. After installation and running, I can not see the pdf file.
A1: maybe you forgot to excute ```react-native link``` or it does not run correctly.
You can add it manually. For detail you can see the issue [`#24`](https://github.com/wonday/react-native-pdf/issues/24) and [`#2`](https://github.com/wonday/react-native-pdf/issues/2)

Q2. When running, it shows ```'Pdf' has no propType for native prop RCTPdf.acessibilityLabel of native type 'String'```
A2. Your react-native version is too old, please upgrade it to 0.47.0+ see also [`#39`](https://github.com/wonday/react-native-pdf/issues/39)

Q3. When I run the example app I get a white/gray screen / the loading bar isn't progressing .
A3. Check your uri, if you hit a pdf that is hosted on a `http` you will need to do the following:

**iOS:**
add an exception for the server hosting the pdf in the ios `info.plist`. Here is an example :

```
<key>NSAppTransportSecurity</key>
<dict>
  <key>NSExceptionDomains</key>
  <dict>
    <key>yourserver.com</key>
    <dict>
      <!--Include to allow subdomains-->
      <key>NSIncludesSubdomains</key>
      <true/>
      <!--Include to allow HTTP requests-->
      <key>NSTemporaryExceptionAllowsInsecureHTTPLoads</key>
      <true/>
      <!--Include to specify minimum TLS version-->
      <key>NSTemporaryExceptionMinimumTLSVersion</key>
      <string>TLSv1.1</string>
    </dict>
  </dict>
</dict>
```

**Android:**
[`see here`](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/54818098/cleartext-http-traffic-not-permitted)

Q4. why doesn't it work with react native expo?.
A4. Expo does not support native module. you can read more expo caveats [`here`](https://facebook.github.io/react-native/docs/getting-started.html#caveats)

Q5. Why can't I run the iOS example? `'Failed to build iOS project. We ran "xcodebuild" command but it exited with error code 65.'`
A5. Run the following commands in the project folder (e.g. `react-native-pdf/example`) to ensure that all dependencies are available:
```
yarn install (or npm install)
cd ios
pod install
cd ..
react-native run-ios
```

Methods operate on a ref to the PDF element. You can get a ref with the following code:
```
return (
  <Pdf
    ref={(pdf) => { this.pdf = pdf; }}
    source={source}
    ...
  />
);
```

#### setPage()
`setPage(pageNumber)`

Set the current page of the PDF component. pageNumber is a positive integer. If pageNumber > numberOfPages, current page is not changed.

Example:
```
this.pdf.setPage(42); // Display the answer to the Ultimate Question of Life, the Universe, and Everything
```
