Use an Integration to download the file.

Hi amriteshg6866

You can explore the possibility of integrating with the external system to retrieve the document and store it in Appian. Once the document is saved as an Appian document, you can use a!documentViewerField to display it within your application.

The document viewer can only display local documents. Use an integration to download the file, then use the ID of the document to display it.
