I recently needed to show a pdf file inside a div in my app. All i wanted was to show it and make it scrollable. The file comes from a fetch() with authorzation headers.
I could not find a way to do this without pdf.js.

The html object tag can just show a pdf file by default. Just fetch it and pass the source there.
What is the problem with that exactly in your case?
I think it can't do that on iOS? Don't know if that is the relevant thing in the choice being discussed though. Not sure about Android.
This made me try it once more and I got something to work with some Blobs, resource URLs, sanitazion and iframes.
So I guess it is possible
Yeah, blobs seem like the right way to do it.
There does not seem to be a way to configure anything though. It looks quite bad with the default zoom level and the toolbar…
https://www.npmjs.com/package/pdfobject works well as a wrapper around the <object> tag. No mobile support though.
