var src = "C:\path\path\file.pdf";

how can I do it? I already try with absolute path but there was an error while downloading file via ajax request

Answer 1

You can download pdf via AJAX on server and after that open it from the server.

Answer 2

Actually you can load local pdf and view it in the browser without uploading. I did not believe it was possible due to browser security but in fact it does work....
