Embed API: Is the URL passed visible anywhere in the browser

After passing the url to the Preview method I found that in the resulting iframe I could not see the URL? I wish to confirm whether this is true. It suits my use-case where even though the PDF is a public resource I would not like it to be available on display. Hence. Thanks

If you pass the PDF as a URL, it will be visible in the page source even though it won't be apparent in the iframe. If you need to obfuscate the location of the PDF. Pass the content as a Promise and leverage some middleware to get the PDF and return just the bytes to your page.
