Embed API Legacy view will deprecate - transition to new modern PDF Viewer

[Roland5C39]

Hi Adobe Community,

I received an email that the old Embed PDF API will be decprecated, which is what I am running currently. Adobe is warning that I need to transtition to the new modern PDF viewer. I don't know where to start. Does anyone know how to update? 

Thanks,

Roland

Read this first https://developer.adobe.com/document-services/docs/overview/pdf-embed-api/modernviewer/

Then just change the filename that you load the script from to viewer.js instead of main.js

<script src="https://documentservices.adobe.com/view-sdk/viewer.js"></script>

Hi Joel, Thank you so so much. This worked!

Hi Joel,

Thank you for your guidance. I am confused where should I change the filename. I barely know when the script is loaded from. Is it from the adobe account console?

Namgyell, you need to change your own HTML on your own web site. We can't tell you how to do that, it depends on the site, and the software you are using.

It worked but now it has the boarders things. We want to be something like this instead

Been researching on it for hours and I'm not good with codes

[Joel_Geraci]

Look at the various embed modes to see which will work best for you.

With this code 

I can only come up with this

Based on the link you shared, I dont see anything that can remove the page number the courser thing and others I don't know the name of, badly need help lol

@Joel_Geraci , you have been very helpful here. I was wondering if you know anything of the hiddle toggle button that enables screen reader support. When I use a screen reader, Voiceover or NVDA to get to the button to enable it, I can have the PDF read conent aloud. It doesn't work anymore. The deprecated older version worked before. Now this new Embed API, the toggle button freezes up my PDF and I have to refresh my browser. I posted another comment bugt nobody is answering it. Accessbility is very important these days and if Adobe doesn't fix this, this software can't be used. Thank you for any feedback. 

[Joel Geraci]

It was hidden for a reason. Anything you find that's not documented should never be counted on to persist from version to version.

The evangelism team is aware. We've provided the engineering team with your (and others) feedback on the issue.

I'm not using main.js but viewer.js so why does Adobe email me warning me to switch?

[Joel_Geraci]

I have no insight as to when those emails get sent or why. If you've already switched, I think you can safely ignore the emails. I certainly am.

Hi Joel,

May I ask if you can provide me guidance step wise so that I can transition to new modern pdf viewer? 

Thanks.

[Joel_Geraci]

Look at the answer marked as correct above. That's the one step.
