<pdf-viewer>
pdf-viewer is a simple viewer, without any decoration, based on the Mozilla's pdfjs library. Buttons have to be created by the parent page or component.
the component is written using es6 syntax, and polymer 2.x.
Nota : the pdfjs library uses XMLHttpRequest to load the pdf documents. So, you may encountered CORS problem, if you try to load a document from another origin. A solution could be to use a proxy to serve your documents, you could take advantage to use for example the project CORS Anywhere.
