Display document (PDF) within detail view.

Hello,

I would like to be able to display a pdf within a detail view so that it may be shown on a dashboard. I do not want the user to have to download or navigate to a new tab / view in order to read the pdf.

I have seen the support article linked below, but it mostly talks about how to display images - not files such as pdfs.

Does anyone know if this is possible?

Not possible

Though I bet there's some clever work around to be found - possibly with some external service (like QuickChart.io or something)

It is possible to convert the pdf to an image file, and display the generated image in the view.

Is the convert PDF to image something that you are achieving in appsheet
itself, or would you achieve that via a different method?

You'd have to use an external service.
