Pdf viewer and source path

Ignition
1

Hello I try to visualize a pdf in perspective session with the pdf viewer component. But I struggle with the source path. I do not have the minimum version of Ignition required to install the WebDev module. So I would like to put my pdf in the folder “/res/perspective/documents/pdf-sample.pdf” with the sample provided by Ignition. Anybody knows where is this folder???

C:\Program Files\Inductive Automation\Ignition\webserver\webapps

I found the issue is I have to use http://localhost:8088/main/sample.pdf instead of /sample.pdf in the source path
