How to Deploy PdfViewer Server App in Azure App Service from Visual Studio in JavaScript (ES5) PDF Viewer control
Prerequisites
- Visual Studio 2017 or Visual Studio 2019.
- An
Azure subscription. - Create the
PDF Viewer Web API application. - Make sure you’ve built the project using the Build > Build Solution menu command before following the deployment steps.
Publish to Azure App Service
Step 1: In Solution Explorer, right-click the project and choose Publish (or use the Build > Publish menu item).
Step 2: If you have previously configured any publishing profiles, the Publish pane appears, in which case, select Create new profile.
Step 3: In the Pick a publish target dialog box, choose App Service.
Step 4: Select Publish. The Create App Service dialog box appears. Sign in with your Azure account, if necessary, then the default app service settings populate the fields.
Step 5: Select Create. Visual Studio deploys the app to your Azure App Service, and the web app loads in your browser at http://<app_name>.azurewebsites.net. (i.e. http:// ej2-pdfviewer-server20200513053326.azurewebsites.net).
Step 6: Navigate to the PDF Viewer Web API control http://ej2-pdfviewer-server20200513053326.azurewebsites.net/api/pdfviewer. It returns the default get method response.
Append the app service running the URL http://ej2-pdfviewer-server20200513053326.azurewebsites.net./api/pdfviewer to the service URL in the client-side PDF Viewer control. For more information about how to get started with the PDF Viewer control, refer to this getting started page.
