I don't work with React enough to advise you on the specifics there. However, before loading a new PDF, you are going to need to set the adobeDCView object to null. You also might need to empty the container element prior to doing so before ComponentUnmount triggers.

Set the DCView object to null and then just load the second PDF as you did the first. I have a working example at this CodePen.

Thank you for your reply.

I think I should let you in some more details.

i have a thumbnail list in react and when i navigate between one pdf to another, i loose the adobeDCView state and while navigating the ComponentUnmount does not trigger. saving this in local state also not a good idea...

Any advise?
