I can not reproduce this example.
Steps:

I added distributed pdfmodule.dll to the Internal Web Server Modules
I opened pdfclient project from
C:\Program Files (x86)\Elevate Web Builder 2\examples\pdfclient
Compile
Run
Result: no files in  ListBox

Problem No 1: Where must I put the pdf files?

While opening pdfmodule.dpr in Delphi XE5 I saw empty pdfs directory.
- I copied some pdf files to:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Elevate Web Builder 2\examples\pdfmodule\pdfs
- Run PDF Client Example
Result: no files in  ListBox

Returnig to Delphi I activated CodeSite to find out what is the value of TempPDFDirectory
- compiled pdfmodule project
- returned to EWB IDE
- removed distributed pdfmodule.dll in Environment options/ Internal Web Server Modules
- added compiled pdfmodule.dll in Environment options/ Internal Web Server Modules
- Run PDF Client Example
Result: CodeSite uncovered the value of TempPDFDirectory variable:
C:\Users\Tom\Documents\Elevate Web Builder 2\Projects\pdfmodule\pdfs

I moved pdf files from
C:\Program Files (x86)\Elevate Web Builder 2\examples\pdfmodule\pdfs
to:
C:\Users\Tom\Documents\Elevate Web Builder 2\Projects\pdfmodule\pdfs

Now everything works fine.

Next step: move dll to server

- I copied pdfmodule.dll to server side in the directory where pdfmodule.html and pdfmodule.js will be deployed
- stopped the EWB 2 Web Server
- added compiled pdfmodule.dll in Configure Server/Modules
- started the EWB 2 Web Server
- changed Internal Web server to Production Server in EWB IDE
- deployed pdfclient project
- run PDF Client Example
Result: Modal mesage: Error retrieving list of PDF files

Request status code is obviously different from 200.
I added line:
SelectPDFListBox.Items.Add( IntToStr( Request.StatusCode ) );
as the first line in PDFServerRequestComplete procedure
- deployed pdfclient project
- run PDF Client Example
Result: 400 in the SelectPDFListBox

Returnig to Delphi I activated CodeSite to find out what is the value of parameters RequestUserName and RequestPassword in EWBModuleAuthenticateUser procedure.
- compiled pdfmodule project
- copied pdfmodule.dll to server side in the directory where pdfmodule.html and pdfmodule.js will be deployed
- run PDF Client Example

Result: Modal mesage: Error retrieving list of PDF files
- CodeSite uncovered the value of RequestUserName and RequestPassword variables: both are empty strings

Returnig to Delphi I I changed the line in EWBModuleAuthenticateUser procedure from
 if AnsiSameText(RequestUserName,'Demo') and (RequestPassword='Password') then
to
 if AnsiSameText(RequestUserName,'') and (RequestPassword='') then
- compiled pdfmodule project
- copied pdfmodule.dll to server side in the directory where pdfmodule.html and pdfmodule.js will be deployed
- returned to EWB IDE
deleted previously added line
SelectPDFListBox.Items.Add( IntToStr( Request.StatusCode ) );
in pdfclient project
- run PDF Client Example

Result: no files in  ListBox but CodeSite uncovered the value of TempPDFDirectory variable:
C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\My Documents\Elevate Web Builder 2\Projects\pdfmodule\pdfs

I created necessary directories and copied pdf files
- run PDF Client Example
Result: I can see files in ListBox but when I click one of them nothing happens ( I can not see the content of pdf file )

Now I have no more ideas...
Has somebody solved this?

Tom,

<< I can not reproduce this example. >>

It's not surprising, there are a couple of serious issues with the distribution:

1) The PDFs aren't being included.
2) The pdfmodule isn't being pre-compiled and made available for automatic installation.

I'll have these issues fixed in a 2.02 B2 release that I'm doing today or tomorrow, so use that build and you should be able to just:

1) Install the example applications using the EWB IDE Help menu option.
2) Compile/run the PDFClient example application.

A new 2.02 build 2 is going out today, but I wanted to clarify a couple of things:

1) The *only* issue with the PDFModule example project was that it wasn't including the PDFs.  My original response was partially incorrect.

2) You *must* install the example applications using the Help/Install Example Applications link in the IDE in order for the example projects to run correctly.
