bound-pdf-viewer
An HTML content command that becomes an HTML structure functioning as a viewer displaying a PDF File retrieved from a URL specified through a Screen data variable.
The main functional difference between this command and pdf-viewer is that the PDF displayed by bound-pdf-viewer may be changed while the Screen is being displayed. The bound-pdf-viewer also requires the PDF to be specified through a URL String, instead of a File value - the getFileDownloadURL(INVALID) command is therefore very useful with this content command.

Examples
The basic use of bound-pdf-viewer is to display a PDF document generated within the logic. This requires a download URL for the PDF to be created with getFileDownloadURL and stored in a variable declared as Screen data. The logic could look like this:
<exportPDF var="pdf" document="${composedDoc}"><getFileDownloadURL var="pdfURL" file="${pdf}" contentDisposition="inline" screenData="true">In the Screen bound-pdf-viewer can then be given the URL-holding Screen data variable:
<bound-pdf-viewer file-url="pdfURL">
