Hello there, team.  
I'm now working on the Perspective module and creating a pdfviewer component to display the pdf list.

[Original image from the PDF]

All of the images in the PDF file are clear, yet when the same PDF uploaded to PDFviewer, the image quality inside the PDFviewer is low.

Please advise on how to resolve the clarity issue within pdfviewer.  
I'm now uploading pdf files from within the WEBDEV module and copying the mounted path and inserting it into the PDFVIEWER's source code.

And other than **PDF VIewer and WEBDEV module** is there any other method to display PDF files on UI screen.
