What you are running into is normal web app security. A browser URL cannot access the user's hard drive. You choices are the 3 choices listed in our showcase.

1. Load it as a URL from inside your app.

2. Keep the PDF with your WAR file in /webapp/resources and access it that way.

3. Read it from somewhere "off disk" or "out of a database" and use the StreamedContent option (this sounds like what you want).
