URL

When you open the viewer and pass a request-param named u, the document will be loaded directly. The u-param accepts a URL-encoded Source that looks like that:

{
"uri": "https://any.web.site/test.pdf"
}

The URL to open that document will look as follows:

https://web-viewer.jadice.com/?u=%7B%22uri%22%3A%22https%3A%2F%2Fany.web.site%2Ftest.pdf%22%7D
