Hi Abhilash,

I am not sure whether PDF viewer control of canvas app is able to achieve the functionality, because according to documentation, the current control only supports URL that directly links to pdf file,

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powerapps/maker/canvas-apps/controls/control-pdf-viewer#limitations

while pdf files and other attachment files are saved in base64 string format in Dynamics, we may need to read and render them programmatically.

You could refer to PCF control as alternative, pdf is supported by the PCF control.

Hi Abhilash,

It is very glad that your achieved the functionality.

Do you mean that pdf content can still be used directly in PDF Viewer control?

Is your solution similar to the third reply in this thread?

It will be really appreciated if you could share the solution.
