I have a scenario where the user uploads one or many tiff files, and then wants to see them displayed in a gridlayout. I had already built out the process before realizing that imageField does not support Tiff. I have seen a plugin that converts tiff to pdf, but this doesn't help as I don't think there is a way to display a pdf in a gridlayout (please correct me if I am wrong!). Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

You can display pdf in a!documentViewerField().

This is not supported.

Why would you want to do this though? I think opening it in a dialog window makes more sense.

How would you do this?

If you really need a grid, try to simulate it using nested card layouts.

It would look bad in a grid anyway IMO. Rather you should display it adjacent to the grid and highlight the row whose document is being displayed.

That, according to me, would be a good UX.

Good idea, thanks!
