Hello,
I have been looking into the Webviewer collaboration tool. I followed the entire Getting Started documentation for the Collaboration tool.
I also pulled down the sample code from GitHub:
I ran through the list of procedures to get the app up and running, I followed the Get Started documentation to set up a docker and database. Then I ran the following commands:
1.) yarn start:server
2.) yarn start:client
My server is running at localhost:1234
Everything looks right, when I load up the url I see that a new user joined in the logs. But I can’t seem to get on the same document to see the live collaboration. Here are the steps I take after running the commands and the app is running:
1.) Open a new chrome tab
2.) Enter localhost:1234
3.) Create a new document
4.) Open a new incognito tab
5.) Enter localhost:1234
After following these steps I do not automatically load into the document I created on the first browser tab…
See Image attached to view the logs after following these steps:

Hi Dante:
I think you might need to let client B in the incognito tab join the document if the document is not public: Get started | WebViewer Real-time Collaboration. Let me know if this helped!

Get started | WebViewer Real-time Collaboration (pdftron.com)
When I use the following lines of code used in the example I get an error saying the function getPublicDocumentPaginator does not exist.
Client B is incognito mode, please see my steps outlined above. The document is public as well, I am using the demo pdf provided in the example documentation. My code is exactly how it is in the sample code on GitHub here
Not sure what the issue is.
Hi Dante,
I think you will need to join the public document in Client B before using the getPublicDocumentPaginator API: Public documents | WebViewer Real-time Collaboration
