as I wrote in an earlier mail, this does not work on Android!
The browser cannot display PDFs on Android!

But I have a license for the PDF widget, so displaying is not a problem.

I meant that I am looking for a way to add some more PDFs later.
And my question was if there is another way to do so without loading them from some URL.
