## Description

Loads a pdf file into the Page Section specified in the parameter “contId” by sending an HTTPGET request to the action of the URI specified in “url”.

```
$.displayDocument("main/loadpdf/", "pdf-container");
```

Function will send a request to “main/loadpdf” and load the returned pdf file into the Page Section by the id of “pd-container” replacing the content that is currently displayed in that Page Section. If browser does not support this, a new tab is opened where the pdf file gets loaded instead.
