PDF Document Viewer

Overview

Users desire the capability to view documents embedded within the application while having access to zoom, pagination, and download functionalities. In contrast to the built-in Appian PDF viewer that uses iframes, this plugin eliminates the need to store the file within Appian and doesn't rely on iframes. Furthermore, additional authentication methods have been incorporated to enable secure document streaming.

  • Hi,

    When using this plug-in to open any pdf in mobile browser then there is no Horizontal scroll. The document is only viewable half as it adjust itself to mobile screen and doesn't allow side scroll to view remaining half of the document. Also the default zoom is 100% which further cuts the pdf document from top. When document is zoomed more then the top of the document is visible.

    • Added Sandbox application package with site object and user input field for inputting URL to show the PDF viewer functionality.
