Hi,

I'm wondering if there is any plan to implement a URL as an option for loading in a PDF.  I want to be able to display PDFs that are hosted in a sharepoint drive by URL without having to download a PDF into memory every time.  I know there are viewers that can do this, but I'm just wondering if I'm missing something with Telerik, or if I need to go with a different solution.

Thanks,

Nathan

I can't speak on behalf of Progress Software, but I’d like to point out that while it's possible to pass a URL (instead of PDF data) to the PDF Viewer components in their Angular (docs), React (docs), and jQuery (docs) libraries, there doesn’t appear to be a similar feature available for their Blazor PDF Viewer.

I checked their feedback portal (link) and couldn’t find an existing request for this functionality. I’d recommend submitting a feature request there so the team can consider it for future releases.

I also supported your request by voting for it, as having this option in Blazor makes sense to me as well.
