Hi there,

You should be able to use the viewer without any special server requirements.

In your HTML, you will need access to the node modules. Here you can define a path to the webviewer.min.js file.

<script src="/@pdftron/pdfjs-express/webviewer.min.js" type="module"> </script>

You will also need a way to access the core and ui folders in the lib folder when instantiating the viewer.

 WebViewer(
   {
    path: 'lib',
   },
