Hi there, Here is a relevant forum topic that will answer your questions: > [@Is it possible to partial rendering of pdf file?](https://pdfjs.community/t/is-it-possible-to-partial-rendering-of-pdf-file/372/14): > > Hi Logan, I can confirm that range requests are now working for me. However, it seems that the initial request (with response status 200) seems to continue downloading alongside the range requests. Is this the intended behaviour? My understanding is that the first request should be canceled if range requests are initiated. Here is a screenshot demonstrating the current behaviour. Whereas this is a screenshot of how PDFTron handles it, which is more like what I would expect. you can see (firefox) that 206 requests are supported: ![image](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex031/uploads/pdfjscommunity/original/1X/5930fddac4549eaaafd66a0a6337ded9ace6fbf7.jpeg) Best Regards, Kevin Kim Web Development Support Engineer PDFTron Systems, Inc.
