I have noticed when i use Full Window Embed Mode   That  it works if the PDF and  HTML is in the same directory   Or  if I place  the HTML in the root  directory  and place the pdf elsewhere  It works perfectly 

But if I move the HTML  to a directory other than root the pdf will not  load unless the pdf is in the same directory  I have  tried  using  the full location in the API   ie  HTTP://www.domain etc    or relative path  ../  none work  anyone know  how I might overcome this

    How is it not working? Is it not just loading? If you can share some code you tried, I can try to help more.

    Hi the interface appears the load spinner starts, and then I have a blank file  it seems to retain the colour  of the viewer   so the HTML has loaded  not the pdf

    This works in root 

    <script src="https://documentservices.adobe.com/view-sdk/viewer.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
	document.addEventListener("adobe_dc_view_sdk.ready", function(){ 
		var adobeDCView = new AdobeDC.View({clientId: "Credential", divId: "adobe-dc-view"});
		adobeDCView.previewFile({
			content:{location: {url: "images/LM_12Page_Folder.pdf"}},
			metaData:{fileName: "LM_12Page_Folder.pdf"}
		}, {defaultViewMode: "FIT_PAGE", showAnnotationTools: false, showDownloadPDF: false, 
			showPrintPDF: false});
	});
</script>

     

    This fails when the HTML is in  a subdirectory   I have also tried ../images/LM_12Page_Folder.pdf as  the location 

     

    <script src="https://documentservices.adobe.com/view-sdk/viewer.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
	document.addEventListener("adobe_dc_view_sdk.ready", function(){ 
		var adobeDCView = new AdobeDC.View({clientId: "Credential", divId: "adobe-dc-view"});
		adobeDCView.previewFile({
			content:{location: {url: "http://www.domain.com/images/LM_12Page_Folder.pdf"}},
			metaData:{fileName: LM_12Page_Folder.pdf"}
		}, {defaultViewMode: "FIT_PAGE", showAnnotationTools: false, showDownloadPDF: false, 
			showPrintPDF: false});
	});
</script>
