Open PDF files using PDF.js without passing file as query string

I am using PDF.js to open a PDF file currently and its working fine.

Previously I was using like this:

http://myapp.mycompany.com/web/viewer.html?file=http://myapp.mycompany.com/my-PDF-file.pdf

My Problem:

For some reasons, I really do not want to reveal the file path of my PDF file and want to move my PDF files outside root directory. Is there any other way to provide the pdf file to the viewer.html? or is this the oly way?

NOTE: I have moved all the PDF files outside my root directory. So How can I access the PDF now?

Use rawurlencode to encode '/getP‌​DF.php?filename=pdfname.pdf' part:

"http://myapp.mycompany.com/web/viewer.html?file=".rawurlencode("/getP‌​DF.php?filename=".rawurlencode("pdfname.pdf"))

Yes, there is. Call some function instead (and you don't even need PDF.js):

http://www.example.com/getPDF.php?fileName=pdfname.pdf

function fileName() {
    $fileName = $_GET['fileName'];
    header("Content-type:application/pdf");
    header("Content-Disposition:inline;filename='{$fileName}'");
    readfile(__DIR__."/../pdfs/private/{$fileName}");
}
