## Getting Started

It's easy to get started. Simply import the [web package](https://github.com/Servoy/svyPDFViewer/releases/download/v1.1.0/pdfviewer.zip) via Servoy's Web Package Manager.

If you like to see a sample, install the example solution, \[**svyPDFViewerExample.servoy**] (<https://github.com/Servoy/svyPDFViewer/releases/download/v1.1.0/svyPDFViewerExample.servoy>)

### Example Usage

Load document using **absolute** URL

```javascript
elements.pdfViewer.documentURL = 'http://www.cbu.edu.zm/downloads/pdf-sample.pdf';
```

Load document using URL which is **relative** to the web application's root context. For example:

* <http://my-host:8080/myApplication/reports/test.pdf> - this would be in production server
* <http://localhost:8080/reports/test.pdf> - this would be in developer

```javascript
elements.pdfViewer.documentURL = 'reports/test.pdf'; 
```
