        uploadSnapshotAPIPath: 'snapshot/upload',
        // Parse the contents that responds from the server, and parse it to a image URL. The default implementation is return resp.

        // Assuming that the server returns {success: true, data: {url: '/snapshot/image/xxx'}}, then you need to implement it as follow：
        render: function(resp) {
            return resp;
        }
    })
})

Example

// If you need to upload images to a specified server, then you need to create a custom image hosting service.
const SnapshotServer = PDFViewCtrl.SnapshotServer;
const pdfui = new PDFUI({
    ...
    viewerOptions: {
        snapshotServer: new SnapshotServer({
            origin: location.origin,
            uploadSnapshotAPIPath: 'snapshot/upload',
            payloadFieldName: 'file',
            method: 'POST',
            render: function(resp) {
                return resp;
            }
        })
        ...
    }
})
var pdfviewer = await pdfui.getPDFViewer();
// Capture the picture of the specified area on the page.
var imageBlob = await pdfviewer.takeSnapshot(0, 0, 0, 200, 200);
// Upload images to a specified server.
var uploadResult = await pdfviewer.uploadImage(imageBlob);
// Capture the picture and copy it to the clipboard
var copyResult = await pdfviewer.copySnapshot(uploadResult);
