Hi,

Most common problem is the security settings of the web browser which, by default, doesn't allow file access from "file" url scheme. It is not a problem related to ViewerJS.

2 solutions:

you embed a tiny web server on your CD-ROM
you change the configuration of all brower that need to read your CD.

Hi, I have the same problem. Please may you add the GET scheme? Like ViewerJS/index.html?file=/path/to/file?

At the present if I use the URL: /home/max/ViewerJS/ I don't get the viewer, but only the list of files of ViewerJS folder.

If I use the URL: /home/max/ViewerJS/index.html I get the viewer, but I don't load any document

If I use the URL: /home/max/ViewerJS/#../test.pdf I get the list of files of ViewerJS

If I use the URL /home/max/ViewerJS/#../home/max/test.pdf I get nothing.
