Currently it is not possible to bind the PDFViewer to a file from the view model:
<div data-role="pdfviewer"
data-pdfjs-processing-file="{file: fileToLoad}"
data-width="100%"
data-height="700"
data-bind="events: { source: }">
</div>
<script>
var viewModel = kendo.observable({
fileToLoad: "https://demos.telerik.com/kendo-ui/content/web/pdfViewer/sample.pdf"
}
</script>
