I'm running into an issue where I cannot preview a local pdf.
I have tried:
<script type="text/javascript"> document.addEventListener("adobe_dc_view_sdk.ready", function() { var adobeDCView = new AdobeDC.View({clientId: "43b7fe695ddb49899bd5d90f222f5b7c", divId: "adobe-dc-view"}); adobeDCView.previewFile( { content: {location: {url: "file:///C:/my/sandbox/local_file.pdf"}}, metaData: {fileName: "local_file.pdf"} }, {embedMode: "IN_LINE", showDownloadPDF: true, showPrintPDF: true}); }); </script>
But I always just get a "File preview error":
In the Adobe View SDK repo, I did see the "Work with Local File" example. But this is not what I'm looking for. In the example, it uses a File Uploader. For my purposes, I want to just hardcode a local file location for my PDF into my JS code (preferably relative to my index.html file). That way I can easily work on my local machine.
Can you please advise? Thank you!
PS. Note that my index.html is located in "file:///C:/my/sandbox/" in the same dir as local_file.pdf.
