Open a external file using pdf.js viewer

Question

I am using pdf.js viewer for displaying PDF files in webpage. In server side, I have a folder viewer. Inside this folder I have scripts & content folder.

In Server Scripting,

// Configuration
app.configure(function(){
app.use(express.static(__dirname + '/scripts'));
});

So if I put localhost/viewer.html to display the viewer.

To open a file I put localhost/viewer.html?file=sample.pdf. This is working fine if the viewer.html & sample.pdf are in same folder. But I want to load a input file from content folder for viewer.html in scripts folder

The easiest way is to set up multiple static middlewares with different root paths:

app.use('/', express.static(__dirname + '/scripts'));
app.use('/content', express.static(__dirname + '/content'));

Note that you will have to rewrite your PDF viewer to download files from http://yourhost/pdf/ instead of http://yourhost/.
