PDF Documents from out the Application

[Kurisu]

If you are using Phoenix, you can define a public static path to the location of the PDF documents as explained on the following thread.

Putting a PDF document on my site

You cannot put the pdf anywhere, it should be accessible from the web server… You can do this like this create a pdfs folder in assets/static add all pdfs inside this folder enable pdfs in plug static, for this, update your endpoint plug Plug.Static, at: "/", from: :lo_tube, gzip: false, only: ~w(css fonts images js favicon.ico robots.txt pdfs) Then You can reference them as /pdfs/any.pdf, or with Routes static helper

Edit:
But I just noticed you are the one that started that thread.
