Hi there,

It looks like from the code snippet, everything looks correct.

Could you make sure the url to the document is correct? It looks like when there is a symbol in the end of the URL, you will get a similar error message (note the ’ single quote in url):

It doesn’t matter which link I’m using  
I also used ‘[https://pdftron.s3.amazonaws.com/downloads/pl/demo-annotated.pdf](https://pdftron.s3.amazonaws.com/downloads/pl/demo-annotated.pdf)’  
but have got the same error

Hi there,

Thanks for your response,

If I go to the [demo](https://pdfjs.express/demo) and enter the above url, I am able to load the document.  
Do you have any network settings or browser extensions that are blocking the access? Does it work in incognito/private mode or another browser?

Best regards,  
Kevin Kim

Hi there,

A screenshot of error messages and even a minimal runnable sample project will help troubleshoot this issue.
