It will work if you provide an external PDF link! See if you get CORS error from the source of the file.

for someone still struggling with this issue even after enable CORS origin in your server, my lead dev suggested to add origin parameter in url with value localhost like below

var url = "https://xxxx.xxx.xxxxx"; url = url + '?origin=localhost';
