What were you trying to do?

I need to read the pdf file which is present in react repo root directory which is under public folder, "sample.pdf"

How did you attempt to do it?

const formUrl = '/sample.pdf'; const formPdfBytes = await fetch(formUrl).then(res => res.arrayBuffer()); const pdfBufferData = await PDFDocument.load(formPdfBytes); console.log('arrayBuffer', formPdfBytes.byteLength); console.log('pdfBuffer', pdfBufferData);

What actually happened?

I am getting the below exception, the arrayBufffer
