In the openDocument function parameter, add the path to the file you wish to open.

If you are using iOS version: Add the name of the PDF file, but make sure it is located under app Document folder

If you are using Android version: Please input the absolute path of the file in the devices, e.g., FoxitPDF.openDocument('/storage/emulated/0/xxx/xxx.pdf')

FoxitPDF.openDocFromUrl(url);

e.g.

FoxitPDF.openDocFromUrl('https://developers.foxitsoftware.com/resources/pdf-sdk/FoxitPDFSDK_QuickGuide(PDFium).pdf');

In App.tsx:

import React, { Component } from 'react';
import {
  Platform,
  StyleSheet,
  Text,
  View,
  NativeModules,
  TouchableOpacity,
} from 'react-native';

  }

  onPress() {
   //open doc from local path
