Hi Justin,  
   
Thanks for using Syncfusion products.  
   
Can you please let us know whether your exact requirement is to load the file from the URL? If yes, we can provide the URL in the documentPath property or the load() method of our PDF Viewer control. Then in the controller, we can download and load the document by using the WebClient.  
   




                           WebClient WebClient = new WebClient();  
                            byte[] pdfDoc = WebClient.DownloadData(jsonData["document"]);  
                            stream = new MemoryStream(pdfDoc);
