Static Methods

Besides the component itself, the module also includes a getDocument function for manual loading of PDF documents, which can then be used as the source prop of the component. In most cases it is sufficient to specify the source prop with a URL or typed array, while the result of the getDocument function can be used in special cases, such as sharing the source between multiple component instances. This is an advanced topic, so it is recommended to check the source code of the component before using this function.
