Supplying an URL http/https should download the file and show it

Hi @samuelrhjoseph, I'm afraid that this functionality in the pdf_viewer cannot be implemented because streamlit reloads the page at each interaction causing the pdf_viewer to reload and to try to download the file. This functionality should be implemented in the streamlit application which can cache the document and avoid unnecessary computation and downloads.
