When I view this URL - chrome://pdf.js/content/web/viewer.html?file=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.bowdoin.edu%2Fearth-oceanographic-science%2Fworkshops%2Fpapers%2Fdegrasse-paralytic.pdf - it works just fine.

When I save this to my laptop and browse to it, it renders correctly, with URL chrome://pdf.js/content/web/viewer.html?file=file%3A%2F%2F%2FUsers%2Fmichaelhanson%2FDownloads%2Fdegrasse-paralytic.pdf

When I drag the document into my browser, the URL is identical to #2 above, and the buttons/nav controls render properly, but the screen goes to "Loading 100%" and then stops with a gray screen. No errors appear in the error console or developer console.
