Quick way to open a PDFViewer in your UI5 App:

			const pdfViewer = new PDFViewer()
			pdfViewer.setSource("/sap/opu/odata/ZMY_SEVICE" + my_path + "/$value")  // my_path could be something like this "/PdfSet('file_id')"
			pdfViewer.setTitle("My PDFViewer Title") // title of the popup, not the viewer
			pdfViewer.open()
