That kind of looks promising, but I'm not seeing any kind
of "download link" for wps anywhere on that page (nor anywhere
else I looked on logan.com).
   For that https://viewerjs.org/ stuff, you just download
ViewerJS-latest.zip and unzip it in the root directory of
your site, automatically creating a ViewerJS/ subdirectory
with all the software you need. Then a simple tag like
 <iframe src="/ViewerJS/#../somefile.pdf" width=400 height=300></iframe>
"magically" displays the pdf file. Took me all of five minutes
to get it working out-of-the-box (and I didn't even have to look
inside the box, just unzip it).

Yeah, I certainly would "see modules/wps.js" to see how you're
using wps, which I couldn't figure out from that .../sw/wps/ page,
except I'm not seeing wps anywhere on your abc2svg page at all.
