C:/Users/rsanchez/Source/completePdfs/PdfSharpResult-6-23-2015 2-13 PM.pdf

I need to change it to this

  var fileURL = result.FileName;
                               fileURL.replace('C:/Users/rsanchez/Source/completePdfs/', 'ViewerJS/#../completePdfs/')

You are doing it alright. Just assign the update value back to fileURL

fileURL = fileURL.replace('C:/Users/rsanchez/Source/completePdfs/', 'ViewerJS/#../completePdfs/')

Can probably skip that and go straight to $scope.returnedPdf = fileURL.replace('C:/Users/rsanchez/Source/completePdfs/', 'ViewerJS/#../completePdfs/');
