RE: Preview PDF files with documentViewerField and problem with spacing between other components

The answer unfortunately is that you won't find there's a lot of control over how the document viewer field formats the displayed document after its relative width is set by whatever column you have it in. The one helpful thing I can offer is that you could potentially allow the User to "move" the display around to different areas on the form by clicking various icons / buttons you place in pertinent spots, which can set the values of local variables that then determine the display behavior of the field - so for instance a user could click an arrow that moves the document out of the narrow left panel and into the "main" panel, and later they could click a different icon to move it back.

For what it's worth, my normal convention to show PDFs in the document viewer field is to show it in a separate section below the main contents of a form, since it usually requires the user scrolling down and then scrolling inside the PDF, no matter what else you do. And as I said, the control we have here is pretty limited, partly due to the inherent nature of PDFs and trying to view them inside a browser window.

Hello Sandra

I would say that depends on the information that you are trying to display. But have you tried to put all your components in a a!billBoardLayout() and try?
