How can I view PDF files from external origins?​

By default, the viewer only opens file URLs from the same origin. To be able to display files from external origins, the allowedFileOrigins option must be set. See: com.nbx.pdfviewer.Option

XML-View Beispiel:

<mvc:View
    controllerName="com.nbx.PDFViewer.Example"
    xmlns="sap.m"
    xmlns:nbx.PDFViewer="com.nbx.pdfviewer">

    <PDFViewer id="idPDFViewer" source="{/Source}" isTrustedSource="true" title="{/Title}">
        <nbx.PDFViewer:pdfViewerOptions>
          <nbx.PDFViewer:Option name="allowedFileOrigins" value="*://domain.tld" />
        </nbx.PDFViewer:pdfViewerOptions>
    </PDFViewer>
</mvc:View>
note

Allowing external sources does not guarantee that the viewer will accept URLs from external sources – the CORS headers on the remote server must be configured properly. E.g. access-control-allow-origin *
