## 🚀 Introduction

**EmbedPDF Snippet** is a _“batteries‑included”_ drop‑in that turns any `<div>` into a professional PDF reader. No build step, no framework lock‑in—just copy, paste, and you’re done.

### Why choose the Snippet?

- **Complete UI out‑of‑the‑box** – toolbar, thumbnails, search, zoom & more
- **Zero build tooling** – works in plain HTML pages or alongside any JS framework
- **30‑second setup** – a single `<script type="module">` is all you need
- **Fully configurable** – tweak behavior with a lightweight options object
- **Runs everywhere** – modern browsers, frameworks, static sites & CMSes

## ⚡️ Quick Install

Add the CDN module and point it at a container:

```html filename="index.html" copy
<div id="pdf-viewer" style="height: 500px"></div>
<script async type="module">
  import EmbedPDF from 'https://snippet.embedpdf.com/embedpdf.js';

  EmbedPDF.init({
    type: 'container', // mount strategy
    target: document.getElementById('pdf-viewer'),
    src: 'https://snippet.embedpdf.com/ebook.pdf', // your PDF URL
  });
</script>
```

That’s it—refresh and enjoy a full‑featured viewer.

## 🛠 Basic Usage Pattern

1. **Container** – create a DOM element where the viewer will render.
2. **Import** – load `embedpdf.js` from the CDN with `type="module"`.
3. **Initialize** – call `EmbedPDF.init()` with your configuration.

### Minimal Example

```html filename="basic-example.html" copy
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head>
    <title>My PDF Viewer</title>
  </head>
  <body>
    <div id="pdf-viewer" style="height: 100vh"></div>
    <script async type="module">
      import EmbedPDF from 'https://snippet.embedpdf.com/embedpdf.js';

      EmbedPDF.init({
        type: 'container',
        target: document.getElementById('pdf-viewer'),
        src: 'https://snippet.embedpdf.com/ebook.pdf',
      });
    </script>
  </body>
</html>
```
