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
