You need a customization or a 3. party solution to be able to preview PDF files within Business Central.

It is unfortunately not supported out of the box.

Hi, Kauffmann has shared a practice before, hoping to give you some hints.

After You have completed OneDrive Setup it should save the attachment file to Your OneDrive and open it from there ... but that's kind of a half workaround and not a normal solution.

For a proper solution there are quite a few alternatives, but I suggest to try "Attachment Preview" solution on AppSource.

Check if there is a fact box with attachment Preview - but I am leaning towards that this is only for some 3rd party extensions and not an option to have in Out of the Box solution.
