Having problems with displaying a PDF in the app.

The PDF is in the same folder as app data in Google Drive.

Type = File Initial value = Privacy Notice V1.0.pdf

But when I click on the link it opens up the local file browser and not the Privacy Notice V1.0.pdf

Any ideas what I am doing wrong?

@geoff_gardener It sounds like this is happening in a form view, when a user is adding a new row or editing an existing row. In that case, when you tap on the file input, you are selecting a new file from your device’s storage.

If you want to display the pdf inside the form, you could use a show-type column that links to a public URL of the pdf.

@tony

you legend, that makes sense now.

Thank you

Hello Appsheet, I am trying to get the PDF file from my google drive to display inside the app it self instead of just displaying the hyperlink to access the image.

I would like to see the actual W-4 form and have been browsing through community questions to find a relevant answer. If someone has an idea for how to do this I would appreciate it.

Unfortunately you can’t display a PDF file in a Form UX
