Possible to add PDF viewer to gallery items?

I am able to display images on each gallery item by adding an image control to the gallery and using a formula like ThisItem.MyImage. Can the same be done with a PDF viewer? When I try to select the first item of the gallery and add a PDF viewer control, the control appears outside the gallery.

    Hello @Anonymous,

    PDF Viewer control cannot be nested (added) in a Gallery control.

    The main reason for this is that PDF content requires a lot of memory. When added to a gallery, you would end up with multiple instances of that control (at least one per row).
