// Loads the PDF reference document
getARenderJS().loadDocument(
  "loadingQuery?url=http://www.arender.fr/pdf/pdf/PDFReference15_v5.pdf",
  function (id) {
    getARenderJS().openDocument(id);
  }
);
// Move to page 24 (note that page index is starting at 0. So page 1 has index 0)
getARenderJS().askChangePage("Index", 23);
// Move to last page
getARenderJS().askChangePage("Absolute", 1);

In the example above, loadDocument returns an ID (in the form of a string starting with "b64_") that will allow manipulation of the document in the ARender view.

openDocument is then called with the ID of the loaded document as a parameter, thereby displaying the document in question.

Multiple document opening

ARender provides the possibility to open several documents by loading a list of documents which will be provided via JSON in order to define the tree structure. All the technical details can be found here
