PDF Viewer Via PCF

Hello to everyone. 

I am building a model driven app. On this app, there are multiple forms , and on one of these forms a have data from a dataverse table. One of the table columns is "File" type. 

Until now I have two sections on this form, the one from the right side shows some data columns from dataverse table and from the left side I want to add a pdf viewer that shows the pdf file from the File column of this table. Until now I have created a canvas app to show this file preview. 

But now I want to make it with a pcf control. I have tried a few things but ai have no results.
For example I created a pcf with a parameter in ManifestControl.Input.xml that receives a url from a user and shows the pdf but when I tried to add it in model Driven app, when I tried to bind it on the File column of the table , the control that I created was not available. 

I think that the reason is that in Dataverse , the file url is not available directly and is just saved in azure blob storage. But how it is posible to create a pcf control that receives a file from dataverse column and shows the content?

I really tried whatever it was posible, but i dont find a good example how to procced on that.... 

Thank you.
