Any OOTB functionality to have PDF documents popup on the screen?

yagyadeepk

I have a PDF document in my document repository of Appian. Instead of showing the document download link on a SAIL form, i want it to show as a pop-up when the link is hit and where the basic user can scroll through the pages and close it. The document is not to be downloaded on the local disk and the user should not move to another browser tab/window. Any OOTB functionality to achieve this.
Thanks in advance.

    But if the PDF document which you are trying to show is constant or fixed, there would be a way, save each page of the Document as One Image, and you can call that Image in one section which contains, 2 columns each of which contains, image 1 (page 1) and Image 2 (page 2 ) respectively, down to that you can keep 2 buttons next and previous, and implement the logic to make the image constant change. Hope this would help your functionality which is almost what is expected.
