Hi folks,
I have a typical requirement described below:
I will have JSON input in Appian system from an external OCR system which will contains some extracted field level details and some URL's of extracted images hosted in a targeted file system outside Appian. Can we show the preview of images in Appian UI using those document URL's present in JSON.

Assuming that the images hosted in the target system are accessible via a SafeURI (http, https, ftp), you can use a!webImage as shown in this tutorial - https://docs.appian.com/suite/help/20.2/cards-as-list-items-pattern.html.
http
https
ftp
The local!houses variable in the tutorial is the equivalent of your JSON data.
Is there any way to show the PDF file preview in the interface with a pdf file link saved in external repository? (Without using IDP)
You can use a!documentViewerField to show a PDF preview, but the PDF document needs to be in Appian, can't be an external link.
