How to load a document giving a path inside the folder with loadDocument() function in PdfTron/ Pdf.js (React App)

I'm having issues using the instance.loadDocument(), to point the path where my pdf are located. If I'm using the initial document path inside WebViewer constructor, everything loads fine.

 useEffect(() => {
    WebViewer(
      {
        path: 'lib',
        initialDoc: `lib/pdf/mydoc.pdf`,
      },
      viewer.current
    ).then((instance) => {

When I try to load an instance instead, I try to point to the same path but I'm getting the error: "Pdf header not found"

.then((instance) => {
      const { docViewer, Annotations } = instance;
      instance.loadDocument(`lib/pdf/mydoc.pdf`)
      const annotManager = docViewer.getAnnotationManager();

How Shall I use this loadDocument function there? Or if I might something else maybe. Thanks for the help!

Can you open "lib/pdf/mydoc.pdf" in a web browser? Is it accessible from a URL?
