Concepts before usage:

First at all, its necessary to establish some taxonomy an initial concepts in order to understand how it works:

Webroot: is the web folder of Symfony
"PDF.js" works only in webroot folders in all kind of projects.
This bundle enables to "PDF.js" to show pdf files in any place that you need to obtain them.
It makes a temporal copy with the absolute path of the pdf file in a custom temporal dir inside webroot (defined by the developer). So make sure about the right permissions (files + owner).
Once "PDF.js" loads the pdf file, this bundle can immediately delete it from webroot in order to avoid issues such as disk space overflow.
This bundle also can show or hide visual "PDF.js" components.

All those features can be performed with parameters which have only true / false values as follows:

Usage

You can choose from different ways to use this bundle:

Fast testing

You can verify functionality in multiple browsers, you can enable the default "PDF.js viewer" with same loaded pdf in your function controller that returns a response:

return $this->get('jjalvarezl_pdfjs_viewer.viewer_controller')->renderTestViewer();

Default viewer

This shows same pdf viewer as the fast testing but its necessary to configure some extra parameters:

$parameters = array(
        //Tell to the bundle that the pdf is outside the webroot
        'isPdfOutsideWebroot' => true,

        //Tell to the bundle where is the pdf. (absolute path for outside temporal folder pdf, just the <name>.pdf for inside temporal folder)
        'pdf' => '/home/jjalvarezl/Descargas/123.pdf',

        //Tell to the bundle that its necessary to delete pdf after render.
        'deletePdfInTmpAfterRenderized' => false,
    );

return $this->get('jjalvarezl_pdfjs_viewer.viewer_controller')->renderDefaultViewer($parameters);

Custom viewer

Also, you can customize which elements from viewer you want to display by editing the parameters:

$parameters = array(
        //Same parameters as defalt viewer.

        //pdf.js viewer options
        'showToolBar' => true,
        'showLeftToolbarButton' => true,
        'showSearchInDocumentButton' => true,
        'showPreviousPageButton' => true,
        'showPreviousPageButton' => true,
        'showFindPageInputText' => true,
        'showNumberOfPagesLabel' => true,
        'showZoomInButton'=> false,
        'showZoomOutButton'=> false,
        'showScaleSelectComboBox'=> false,
        'showPresentationModeButton'=> true,
        'showOpenFileButton'=> true,
        'showPrintButton'=> true,
        'showDownloadButton'=> true,
        'showViewBookmarkButton'=> true,
