Pdf File not found

[mamta-deswal]

I'm using react-native-fs for downloading the pdf and saving it.

let url = 'http://samples.leanpub.com/thereactnativebook-sample.pdf';

const getPdfName = () => { return url.split('/').pop(); };

RNFS.downloadFile({ fromUrl: url, toFile: ${RNFS.DocumentDirectoryPath}/${getPdfName()}, }).promise.then(r => { let path = ${RNFS.DocumentDirectoryPath}/${getPdfName()}; setFilePath(path); });

const resourceType = 'file'; const resources = { file: 'thereactnativebook-sample.pdf', };

<PDFView fadeInDuration={250.0} style={styles.pdfStyle} resource={resources[resourceType]} resourceType={resourceType} onLoad={() => console.log(PDF rendered from ${resourceType})} onError={error => console.log('Cannot render PDF', error)} />

Getting error 'Pdf file not found. While code works fine with URL-type resources.

Version:- "react": "18.1.0", "react-native": "0.70.0",

Hi @mamta-deswal , I do not know react-native-fs, but what is DocumentDirectoryPath? Because looking into your example you give

file: 'thereactnativebook-sample.pdf',

and if you look to demo project, that is the way to define path: https://github.com/rumax/react-native-PDFView/blob/master/demo/src/resources.ts#L19

so what you need is absolute path, or you can also try to debug it and check what you actually get in
