Create a process model with documentId as a parameterized process variable. Add a UIT between the start and end nodes that consists of a document viewer. Now you can plug this process model in the record that is built on the table which stores all the document ID mappings

Hi Neil,

For grid instead of showing like a thumbnail, create a related action for viewing the document which takes document ID as input and now in grid row Keep a rich text Icon like eye symbol which is having a dynamic link and when clicked on the eye icon pass the document ID and the related action will be performed, So you can view like a document.

Hope this gives you another idea if your problem was not solved.

Using a dialog style record action is a great way to do that. Did that myself a few times already.

Hi Mike, Yeah opening below the grid, I feel would not be acceptable by the users. As another component of the grid rows is, that they are dynamic. So a user can add and delete the number of uploads. Anyways, this does give me an idea to open the link in a new window using a record action pop-up and displaying the pdf. I guess that might be the only way around.
Anyways, Thanks Mike

Let the user click on a link in the grid that opens that PDF in a viewer field that opens below the grid. It's impossible (and would not look good whatsoever) to try and open the PDF inside the grid cell.

Well, at first we were doing only image files. Then recently this requirement changed to also allow Pdf. Now the images have a thumbnail small view on the grid. Ideal expectation is to include a pdf view. But is there a way to do it in the grids ?

I am not sure whether showing a large PDF inside a tiny grid cell will become a UX your users will enjoy.
